Spad VII (45.72cm) (238)

Beginners will enjoy the ease of construction, while experienced modellers will appreciate the quality materials and precision laser cut parts contained within this truly fine kit. Vacuum formed components, hand selected balsa, colour self-adhesive decals, and lightweight tissue help convert this traditional build into a faithful representation of the First World War Allied fighter.

A brief history of the model:
The SPAD VII was one of the Allies' most effective and respected fighters of World War I, introduced in 1916 by the Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD). Powered by the robust Hispano-Suiza V8 engine, the SPAD VII combined speed, strength, and stability, becoming the preferred aircraft of aces like Georges Guynemer and Francesco Baracca. Unlike many of its more delicate contemporaries, the SPAD's rugged airframe allowed for aggressive dives and high-speed manoeuvres — attributes that made it both feared and admired in dogfights.
