This kit was first released in 1957 so it's been around a long time. You could have left the side panels off. Gave you a glimpse of the engine. Nice job.
i built this as a 10 year old boy in 1960 and it had the eddie rickenbacker paint scheme and markings. i built a bunch of plane kits both plastic and balsa wood back then.
Kit turned out great, love the pilot and the weathering you did on it. Love the larger 1/28 scale, reminds me of the vintage Aurora kits. I just subbed, Jeff sent me.
Welcome to the styrene madness :) These 1/28 scale are real Revell oldies, but can be transformed into beauties. I always use a filler putty that sands easy with sanding sticks. Endresult is great, love what you done with the pilot and spinner. Greetz, Dutch Dave.
Hey my new modelling freind i just popped over from jeffs shout out im only caughtvup on his videos so seen ur channel shout out so u got my support for ur channel i just subbed to u my freind, 👍im keith from Ireland nice to meet another new guy in the modelling youtube community, 👍Keith
these parts mentioned are the triangular fairing (situated between the forward fuselage struts) which covered the piping to the gravity fuel tank and the radiator in the upper wing. Looking at the real plane, it didn't give the pilot a lot of visibility!
Another comment I would like to make is the border between the camouflage colors was not of the misty kind that one w/ an airbrush can produce; you can see from photographs that the various colors do not mix w/ each other.

Great job! I built this kit as a kid in the 70s and am thinking of getting another one - what do you think of the odd 1/28 scale?
Yeah it was odd. but a lovely model. I like the bigger models aswell.

There. And it got me thinking Spads even though I am more of a WWII airplane fan...
you don't mention the missing parts of this kit which REVELL leaves out.
What are those?
