Afternoon All,
I'm in the early stages of planning a conversion project for Hobbycraft's SPAD XIII to a SPAD XII in 1/32 scale.What I'm looking for are drawing of the SPAD XII.I have drawings from Windsock I used for a 1/48 conversion years ago,but really appreciate more detailed drawing if there are any to be had.Thanks in advance .
Regards,
Gregory Jouette

It took me almost a year to remember where I had my Spad XII drawings. But I found them in the Windsock Vol. 1 edition of WWI fighters. These were originally Mini-Datafiles that were collected into one place.

I seem to recall that in the same issue of Windsock Mag. that reviewed the 1/48th JMGT release, there was an article on the SPAD XII with a new drawing.
The kit was unfortunately based on the original drawings and therefore panned as being INCORRECT. This was several years ago but I am sure someone else will be able to fill in the Volume/Issue.
