Looks like an interesting kit. Enjoy your build. By the way, Eddie Rickenbacker was the US Air Corps top ace in WW1. He later went on to run Eastern Airlines. All the best.
Hello Mark. I'm not a kit builder but I enjoyed your presentation and choice of opening music so much that I thought I'd subscribe. Thanks and I look forward to seeing more. Cheers mate.
Thank you so much! Also, I heard the music on instagram back in I think 2020 and asked the band if I could put it on my videos and they said yes. Thank you again, and followed back :)
Spad is one of my favorite biplanes. I assembled a 1/24 Revell. It came with a detailed Hispano-Suiza 8 engine. It is an excellent kit and assembled very well. Not much detail in the cockpit, but I made up for it with some scratch building. I highly recommend the Revell model which had very few challenges, unlike many Revell models.
Hi Mark. I just got you now on U tube. Like your content. I am subscribing to your channel. I do a lot of armor but i do everything. Thanks for sharing Happy to be on board with you. Nick
This is a great review of the kit, thanks for posting! If you’ve gotten around to building it, how was it? I’m thinking of getting it myself but I’ve never heard of that manufacturer
UA-cam “I ♥ Kit - SPAD S.XIII 1:24 scale model kit” (Mark Bukumunhe, Friday, 15 March, 2024) David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Monday, 5 August, 2024) I especially seek a 1:24th-scale static model kit of an Airco DH-4 Scout Bomber from round 1918. Following the Great War of 1914-1918 the U.S. federal government had acquired from the U.S. military several dozen surplus, numerous of which (along with the Boeing Model 40) the U.S. Postal Service had put into service as mail planes (in this scale, the model would be just 21 inches in wingspan!). I wish to incorporate a pair of them into a streetscape diorama of the Roaring ’20s depicting a midwestern or mid-Atlantic USA small town setting, with Ford Model T automobiles-a sedan, a coupe, pickup trucks, one reworked into a tow-truck, a depot hack, etc.-as well as some vehicles of the other car manufacturers of the time; Plymouth, Dodge Brothers, Pontiac, R. E. Olds, Chevrolet, etc. (I have a hunch that these would be appreciably more difficult to find-or to afford!) I would like to place them in a morning rendezvous with a quartet or so Ford Model T trucks delivering mail for them to take, their drivers accepting what the planes had brought. Each aeroplane is bound for a different town a few hours distant. I also would like a few of the others, to rework as the brightly coloured “barn-stormers”, “a form of entertainment” that a century or so past had been popular. During these events, “stunt pilots [and various sorts of daredevils] performed tricks individually or in groups that were called flying circuses” (Wikipedia, “Barnstorming”). The idea of combining models of automobiles and æroplanes in common tableaux intrigues me. I wish I could find contemporary private and commercial planes, civilian helicopters, recreational boats (ocean-going ships in this scale would be enormous: a replica of a freighter 300 metres long in this scale would be slightly over 41 feet long!). I years past had found a 1:24th-scale static model kit of a steam engine (train) that had been in service during the mid-1800s; I wish I had bought it.
Interesting kit. I'm no expert in WWI aircraft, but the interior looks a bit sparse. It's a shame they used the slide molding on the wrong end of the exhaust. Again, being no expert, I would want to do some research to see whether I would use the photoetch or switch to rigging. In any case, it looks to be a straightforward build that would result in a very nice looking model. How much additional detailing to add is up to the individual modeler.
It's kinda funny americans were the first to achieve sustained flight, but by WWI they had to buy planes from every other country. French Spad's were pretty much the best America had.

Thank you :)
Thanks for the review, good value for money loads of scope for detailing in this scale.
Looks like a nice kit, enjoy your build mate; will be following!

Thsnks for this review. Shows how small these planes were, even at 1/24 theyre not exactly monsters. Brave pilots. Thanks again.

Eddie Richenbacher's cousin, Adolf, invented the electric guitar of the same name.
You head title is wrong: it reports 1/72 scale instead of 1/24...
At least the kit is 1/24............hard to even see a 1/72 biplane lol
Ну и куда этого слона ставить ????????😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
