[WWI] JMGT SPAD XII question

[Dave Calhoun]

Hi, I already have the Eduard Spad XIII, that is a different plane. The Spad
XII has a different nose and is armed with a 37mm cannon firing through the
prop hub.  The cannon breech sticks into the cockpit.  Due to the cannon
breech the plane is controlled with a Deperdussin system which I think is a
small steering wheel on a U shaped column, have never seen a photo of this
but wondering if the JMGT has this in the interior.
Thanks,
Dave

I haven't seen this kit in the flesh, but I've been watching for it on
eBay. I've seen them go for less than $30, which I think is reasonable. I
have found their other kits to fit very well. Even their earlier vacs were
nice. I'd say get it because it will probably be nice.

Why are you interested in the resin kit instead of the Eduard offering?
Maybe you are like me? I enjoy struggling with a resin or vac kit when
there's a perfectly wonderful plastic kit out there. For example, I was
considering starting the 1/72 Fokker Dr.I from Hawkeye last night. I have a
couple of Eduard and Roden Dr.I's in the closet, but the resin kit attracts
me.

That being said I haven't started my Lone Star Models or Blue Max Junkers
DI I might tackle the Roden kit first...

Happy New Year!
