Nice work! Love the Spad!

I'm not sure. I honestly don't know too much about them other than the basics, and they look kinda cool. I build the toy-like Skif kit a while back and then the "early" Trumpeter kit when it first came out. The Trumpeter is kit is pretty nice and goes together nicely. For what it's worth, the early kit gives a choice of two muzzle breaks with correspondlingly different towing pintles.

I just use an oil paint (from the tubes) and turpenoid wash right over the Tamiya white, you'd be fine. A mix of paynes grey, lamp black, burnt umber, and raw sienna makes a nice grungy dirty grimy wash.

Good luck,
Curtis

Google Kermit Weeks' blog and/or look him up on Facebook. He's restoring to his to flight at his Fantasy of Flight museum/theme park, and I'm pretty sure he has posted some pics of it through the course of the restoration. They just did the first engine runs last week, I would think it will be airborne again soon. Cool plane!

Good luck,
Curtis

I'm glad I saw your post, I made room reservations the other day for the original June dates! I guess I'll have to update those! I guess they're hoping to give the sequestration thing more time to work out and hopefully still get the T-birds in town.
