Today's goal is almost met. When this is shaped work stops until I do the cockpit next week. |

| Nicely done...enjoy your trip. |

I am going to the hills for 5 days. I would like to have this ready for cockpit detailing upon my return. |

Fuse progress. |

| CW...Yes the restoration site, I also grabbed many photos. Can you point me to other references? Actual pohotos or diagrams of the real plane and its structure. If so contact me johnmoshust@att.net, contact me anyway this way I can get you e-mail address.
Putting this bird together is no walk in the park. The instructions a very vague, to say the least. |

| This looks great. Is this the restoration site?: I grabbed almost all of their photos for reference. You have a great start on this project. Is this the 36" or 54" model? (The 54" model is 1/6 scale. You could pose a GI Joe action figure (IT IS NOT A DOLL!) next to, or in it. I'm planning on a Frank Luke SPAD once I get to my model. |

| Thanks for the generous offer john. Its between this and the camel. My wife has promised me the rc gear and kit for part of my 40th in December. |

| And it is going swimmingly. Looking like it should be a skeleton with all that intricate detail...why spoil it with tissue. Add a real engine and arm it!!!! |

| WS...When I am finished the plans and instructions are yours if you want them. Then you can scratch it or only buy the wood. |

| John, over the moon that your doing this one. I have been contemplating purchasing this one as my first rc build... |
| John M Oshust, Image # 9394 | 22 Sep 08 22:49 |
I ran out of gas this PM and did not get this all done but I think you can see where it is going. |
| John M Oshust, Image # 9393 | 22 Sep 08 22:47 |
Barnstormer directed me to a site with restoration photos of an actual Spad XIII. Since I have the refences and this kit structure is close to real I figured why not build her as real as possible. |

The parts are not numbered on the wood and there is no numbered master part plan. You look at the plan and find a piece that has a matching shape. My humble beginning. |

| Wow!!! Look at those trailing edges. That's a lot of scallops! Gotta love laser cutting. |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 9391 | 22 Sep 08 16:43 |
| No plastic parts. Details must all be scratched. A scratch build W/O the work of hand cutting all of the parts. I guess "My Hat is in the Ring!" |
| John M Oshust, Image # 9391 | 22 Sep 08 16:40 |
Well this is what I will try to build. Very close to the real plane in structure. I believes there are 93 wing spars. First impression. Postal box (No Photos of the Spad), great laser cut wood. Nice plans, and sketchy instructions. Wood and wire. N |
