Hi All
Here's a model that I have been working on for the last couple of months. I bought this from my local model shop it's pre owned but all the sprus are complete in the original sealed bags. Loads of detail, the radial engine comprising of more than 40 parts. No issues with the build. All in all a great build even the decals were fine as trumpeter have a reputation of splintering. All comments welcome.

Absolutely first class. I would be proud of that one.
 
Stunning build Vaughan ! Superbly built and photographed , its a real beauty -loving the SEAC camo paintwork . The Spad was a bit of a big boned gal too so in 1/32 it must be an impressive size! Good to hear the build was fuss free and the decals behaved themselves , ive got a 1/32 trumpeter 109 in the stash so hopefully that will be the same. Cheers tony

Thanks gents, Tony I was surprised that the decals held together I've had some real bad experiences in the past. Yes she's a big old bird I though the P47 Thunderbolt was big for its time but the Spad makes it look small.
 
I love Vietnam era warbirds and this is one of the best - so's the model!

Brilliant Vaughan. Top notch work there. 'Tiny Tim' Skyraider's were anything but tiny !
 
Lovely work Vaughan. That paint job is fantastic, with an appropriate level of weathering. One to be proud of for sure
 
Nice work and pictures Vaughan, great model : )
