What is it like quality wise and so on? Is Dragon's the better one?

Hi
Just got the Spad 7. Lots of work, sanding the flash. Think you have to dryfit almost everthing in the box. You got a resin interior to go inside the plastic fuselage. Eduards have done some etch to the kit.
It´s a nice one, but needs work

The dragon i a Spad 13 if I remember

For an excellent reference on the Spad VII may I recommend

Spad VII website



My review of the book from May 2004;
My copy of Spad VII C.1 by Tomasz Gronczewski, Seweryn M. Fleischer has arrived. First let me say, that to call this work a monograph is a bit of an understatement. Anyone who is lucky enough to get this work as a reference will be confronted with 166 pages of great material. Along with English and Polish text you will find 14 pages of plan views of every variant known from the parent company and other licensed builders. Color profiles and a walk around of a restored Italian museum piece. The finest examples of factory and front line original photos both interior and exterior. Other country and various camouflage applications are great topics of discussion here. Many of these I have not seen until today. My first read through (about 1 hour) has produced only 2 typographical errors. Gauging the aircraft profiles that are available I would expect a 50-60 dollar price tag on this book and it is worth every penny. There is even an online errata site for this book offered in its inside cover.

Anyone who is the least bit interested in this aircraft type does themselves a terrible dis-service by not purchasing it straight away. The website has corrections to the Special hobby kit. I used it to make corrections on my builds.

Here is one of my builds on CD.
