Brad Cancian Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hi all, Here is my latest completion, the Gaspatch Models 1/48 Salmson 2A2. This one is built straight out of the box save for the rigging. It is painted up in the markings of the 1st US Aero Squadron, France, 1918. WIP pictures can be seen here: http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=2966.0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad Cancian Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Overall this is a very well engineered kit, with plenty of crisp details and good fit. The only minor issue I had was with the proliferation of sprue gates on the sprues which required allot of clean up (was a bit troublesome on the smaller parts). Otherwise a great kit. (Side note - I have since fixed the front undercarriage strut after taking the photos.... doh!). All comments, criticisms and feedback welcome. BC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinxter13 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Very, very well done, the rigging would scare me into a drinking binge. The romance and adventure of the bi-wingers can still capture the imagination of many of us who wonder what it must have been like. I just can't watch "Flyboys" too much, I've seen it over a dozen times, and it keeps getting better each and every time . I don't sound like Michael Keaton, but it works for me :D .
