1/32 Hobbycraft Spad XIII C1 in Turkish Independence War by Özkan Türker.

Taken from 1/32 Hobbycraft Spad XIII C1 by Özkan Türker

History :

Spad XIII’s participation in the Turkish Airforce was during the hardest days of the independence war. Prior to the final attack on invading Greek forces, twenty war weary Spad XIII procured from Italy with a back room operation. Though unarmed, these were equipped with available German Spandau guns at the maintenance depot in Central Anatolia.

Four Spads with this array used in armed patrol missions over Western Front. One of the pilots (Captain) Yüzbaşı Fazıl shot down a Greek Breguet XIV on August 29 1922 during one of the patrols.

Delegated to training purposes later years, Spad XIII’s completely decommissioned in 1930.

Model :

The Hobbycraft kit was almost built out of the box no painstaking corrections or detailing. Fit is almost perfect. With a very small amount of putty. Various mixes of Humbrol enamels used for painting as well as all national insignias. Rigging simulated with Model Suplies’ 0.015 mm wire and fishing line. Finally, laminated wooden propeller finished with burnt amber oils over tan enamel.



Happy Modelling
