Scotties Spad Xlll

[scottie3158]

Nice start Scottie. The dash is particularly effective.

Thanks Jim.

Usual quality Paul and a very interesting build

Cheers Bob.

Looks like wood & brass to me, nice.

Thanks Paul still a pin wash to do.

How did I miss this. Definitely one to watch :smiling:

Cheers Mick, It is so easy to miss builds on here with the amount of quality builds going on.

So far so good.

Thanks Mark hope my luck holds.

Scottie, it's the detailed grundgy weathering of the dashboard that the wingy guys often can't do. You've done it realistically. I like the brass work.

Cheers,
Wabble

Cheers Richard it's hard to know what is right when you don't normally build these.

I knew it - brilliant!

Neil to kind Sir.

Morn Bro,

The wing thingy is looking real good Paul!!! I love your work on the IP with the glass looking instruments. very realistic. Something puzzles me though Paul......

If you are building an Albatros D.III, why is your thread title for a Spad XIII???...............Been nipping the Sherry again Buddy???...

Prost

Thanks mate you are perfectly correct it is indeed an Albatros I will be seeking medical advice as soon as I can or changing my Sherry provider.

A question to the plane builders. What colour would the interior be? would it be a canvas colour or would the external paint colour leech through the fabric?

[Allen Dewire]

Hi Paul,

From what I've seen and read up on, the interior of the cockpit would be a wood color, ie. Tamiya XF-59. If Eduard doesn't give you the details, go to scalemates and punch in 32047. It's the WnW's Albatross D.V (very similar) to yours. Scroll down and bring up the instructions. Use them for the coloring of the interior and all the little tidbits inside. You can cross reference the listed colors (mostly Tamiya and Humbrol) and use what you have O/H. The cockpits were made of wood and there wouldn't be any bleed through from the outside...

It's ok Bro! It just caught me out there. I looked at the instructions for your kit and saw at the very bottom there was colors for a Spad XIII, so it probably threw you off a little...It's all good, in fact, real good!!!

Anything fabric would be a paler version of the exterior colour. The doped fabric was semi transparent . obviously wood is wood coloured as Allen says…..though there are variations in colour depending on what wood they used….

Thanks for that mate as my instructions do point out the wooden bits but doesn't say what the rest is so I will look up the kit on scale mates you have recommended.

I think that is a cracking name lol.

I was thinking "Frankenspad", but yours is a better name!
