Just finished the SPAD-VII. In the markings of Escadrille Spa. 48. About 1:50 scale. Standard construction: basswood fuse and wings, birch plywood undercarriage legs and prop carved from 1/4-in. thick purpleheart. Tape ribs, painted fishing line and banjo strings for rigging. O-ring tires. Laser printer decals. Acrylic paint.
And the rest...
Wonderful model . Well done !

great looking model. How was the purple-heart to carve?
Bit on the stringy side, but really not much worse than walnut. All those "exotic" woods are a little sketchy at times.
Interesting. I have a bit of purple heart that I was going to use for details on small items, but I did not consider it for carving. Thanks.
