Academy SPAD XIII WWI Fighter 1/72 Scale Model Kit

Academy SPAD XIII WWI Fighter 1/72 Scale Model Kit brings SPAD XIII WWI Fighter to your workbench in 1/72 scale. The SPAD XIII biplane subject puts the focus on the relationship between the wings, struts and compact fuselage.

Planning the build

Dry-fit the upper wing and struts together. Plan painting access to the lower wing and compare the marking colors before final assembly.

Working in 1/72 scale

In this scale, clean alignment and controlled paint layers have a strong effect on the display. Compare the model with companion subjects in the same scale, then judge shading and markings from the normal viewing distance. Keep fine details clear by testing how much paint, wash and final finish you need.

Painting and markings

Choose the marking option in the instructions before selecting colors. Test the primer and base color on a spare piece, then compare any panel wash or highlight against that sample. Plan masks for glazing and sharp color boundaries before the final assembly makes access more difficult.
