So, are you going for a AD-4W with the Guppy radome on the bottom? Good subject and welcome to the build.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

OOOOHHHH NOOOO! No scratchbuilding with this one! Mystere is giving me enough time with liquid and hard putty, scribers and files. This one is meant to be a pleasure ride through the land of plastic.Chuck Finley wrote:So, are you going for a AD-4W with the Guppy radome on the bottom? Good subject and welcome to the build.

I just can't stop praising the Hasegawa's Spad. This kit just fell together within one evening in terms of primary construction and plastic melting.
The only pilot's tub value I had added are tamiya tape straps. I think that they will be sufficient for the predicted weight of the pilot at this scale.

Best wishes

Looking good Marek. I think this Hasegawa kit is probably the best I have ever built.
Can't wait to see her finished.

I will have to declare this one a no-go with respect to finishing by 4th of April. I can't locate decals for it. It would be a crime to put Hasegawa decals on Hasegawa kit . The build will continue in the workbench area.
