A fine build! what did you do for the cockpits? You really have to wonder though. Imagine being assigned to the front cockpit of theis little beast in WWI. Not the place to be even on the best of morning patrol conditions. But imagine if you had a headcold or a hangover. Gazooks and Hotmarimba folks!

Stephen,
Thanks for your reply.The cockpits were scratch built using drawings from an old WWI Aero magazine. LOL I can't imagine being up front at all,I'd much rather pilot these little kites.It took a lot of guts to man the Pulpit,rollovers must have been deadly.

PS: How's the Fokker E.V/D.VIII progressing,can't wait to see what wonders you've worked.

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing your photos.

The Spad A-2 was an interesting plane, no doubt about it. I wonder if any have survived.

Most excellent build ! Very interesting subject indeed . I would rather be the pilot . No way would I sit up front with the prop the way it is .

How long did it take you for the build ?
