Thanks, Edward!!!

Thank you so much

Thanks David, it's a great idea to make small diorama o vignette, I need to find WW1 Italian pilot..

Thanks Les, can you imagine, it was built during WW1, not even before...

Thanks Will, I completely agree, it's more like 1/48 scale to me. I really like Italian designers in cars, fashion, but not in early planes lol

Thanks Stephen!!

Thanks Paul, I wanted to order Chaika and Gladiator, but sellers refused to sell it to me due to our Canada post strike. I will think about ordering them later

@FlyingCircusModels Great! I'll wait for your videos lol

Thanks Charlie, to be honest, I can't even imagine what a pilot felt when he was flying on that thing. My motorcycle has 3 times more power than this aircraft ))

Thanks Trevor, a one-week project, turned out to the 1.5 month one ;-)

That's true Stephen, I wanted to put this away a lot of times, but I just don't like to leave things unfinished...

Trust me, I had the same feelings, when I did rigging on it )))

Thanks Ronald, it's super small, I don't even know how it could fly))

@ 🤔

It would have been interesting to have him show it next to the Fokker DR1 that he built early in the channel's history. The Fokker is probably close to twice the wingspan.

@@t-mar9275 I would like to see that too. ☺️ 👍🏻

Awesome. I Love this aviation.

Thank you so much, Mark!!!

It definitely was overshined by dridekker and D.VII

Yeah, if I had this kit and was about to build it, I would replace plastic with brass tubes

Thank you so much, Mark!! Good luck with your project, WW1 planes are awesome!

Thanks

I believe so, SPAD XIII is improved version, so it had differences in comparison with SPAD VII

I really like all Italian WW2 camos, more interesting than just variety of blues or greys

Thank you for watching, 72nd scale is too small for me and I always amazed how modellers add scratch build parts, good luck with your build!!!

Thanks 🔥

Good luck, Paul. This is a great kit!!!

Thanks

Thank you. The base color might look darker because of the light (I took my pictures in the dark room), if you take a picture of the same model outside, in the nice sunny day - it will look lighter.

@FlyingCircusModels eso pensé. Gracias, un lindo avión. Saludos desde Chile

Thank you so much!

Thank Les, yes this kit is great and it was easy to build

Based on the plans, I found online, there was a piece of plywood on the top, and cloth on the sides and wings. Of course, I might be wrong, but it's too late😀

It was covered in aluminum panels in many locations, notably around the engine and forward fuselage, like most biplanes of the period. This wasn't 1915.

@MD-qm6gy right, that's why I made some scratches on the nose, but was not sure about the tail. It could be covered with aluminum, not plywood. It's hard to judge by the plans, I saw museum restoration projects, but it wasn't covered at that time

​​@@FlyingCircusModels Only the sides behind the cockpit, rudder frame, and wings were covered with fabric.

Using rivets on fabric homebuilt planes is extremely common now and was used at different times throughout history.

you already saw all my builds on this channel ;-)

@FlyingCircusModels yeah thats true i thought more how you displayed them..

nothing fancy, I just keep them in the closed boxes, to save from the dust

Agree, this plane has it's own charm. I heard that EZline may perish with the time, but only if you leave it on the direct sunlight (even through the glass window) I keep my models in the plastic boxes in my basement, without any direct sunlight, fingers crossed ))

Thanks for the comment, about the serial number I made it based on the picture of the real plane ( postimg.cc/Z0MrLCGb ), and as you can see the white color line is on the same line with the tail stabilizer. even though that the picture has the angle - you can see it clearly. I have no idea why they painted it like that, but I saw a lot verities of serial number locations.

I agree, it looks weird and strange, the engines were on the steel tubes, not on the wings. Those steel patches cover the joints for the tubes on the wings

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for the comment, I don't think that the plane had a metal propeller, because then there was no point to add deflectors, that protected the propeller from the MG bullets. Moreover, all planes of that period had wooden propellers, they were easy and fast to produce, very cheap in comparison with metal ones

Yes, I do, and my hands are itching to build it

@@FlyingCircusModels 🙂👍🏻

Almost, yeah, I purchased a lot, when they started to sell excess last year. I wish I could buy more

Oh, yeah it's going to be a big, even, huge project

I'm going to build all of them at some point😉

Thanks, Robert. I will make a full build video and the new build will be right after

Thanks!!!

Thanks David!!!

Thank you so much Les!!!

I'm surprised that gloss paints in camouflage colours weren't successful. You get good decal adhesion and eliminate the need for an intermediate gloss coat.

Future works like a gloss coat, it dries also pretty quick. I have a huge bottle and I like to use it

yeah decals are great and right now there is a trend of not using gloss coat before decals, but I do it in the old-fashoined way. Moreover, wash has to be applied only on the gloss coat...

Thank you so much Trevor!!
