The Duke Completes Two Aircraft in October

Post by Duke Maddog »

Today I managed to get done these two aircraft, first is this bagged kit of a Revell Spad XIII that finally got done when I found the decals:

The next model was another bagged kit; a Fujimi S-2 Tracker. The decals fell apart on me several times making this a difficult finish. This is the first ever Tracker I ever built:

And that's it so far. Maybe I'll get one or two more aircraft done, but we'll see.

Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Nice looking Spad. I did the 1/72 scale Hasegawa Tracker kit in my teen years, early 20s.

Thank you all for your great compliments! Carlos, the rigging on the Spad is stretched sprue.

Thank you Stuart!

Carlos, I found it to be the easiest thing to use; everytime I tried rigging with thread or other material, I always broke off the landing gear and/or top wing.
