Model Kit Review, the Revell 1/72 scale SPAD XIII C-1

avatar

Hello, and welcome to my steem blog!

This post is for another model kit review video. This video is about the 1/72 scale kit for the SPAD XIII C-1, a WW1 fighter plane. This kit was made by the Revell model company, a company that's been in the business of making plastic model kits for many years. This is a new kit, but I believe that it is a reissue of an older kit that they've been making for many years.

This is a fairly simple kit that is not too difficult to build. The box end flap lists it as a level 3 kit, which means that it has more than 30 parts but less than 100 parts and requires a bit of skill to assemble.
This is the box the model comes in. It has pretty good artwork on it. To give you an idea of size, the box is about 7 inches, or 185mm long by 4-1/4 inches, or 110mm wide.

I have started this kit, but I'm working on it slowly, when I get the motivation to work on it instead of the 50 other projects that I'm working on. I've got the body and lower wing assembled and I've started on the paint work.I want to finish the camouflage painting before I put the upper wing on.

Here is the link to my kit review on youtube. In the video, I show you all the parts and talk about the parts, the instructions for assembly, and a bit about the decals. The video is 8 minutes long.

I hope you'll find the video interesting!

Thanks for stopping by my page to check out this post and the video!

I used to build these things as a kid back in the 1970's. I had them hanging all over my room from fishing line. Used to infuriate my mum as she'd bump her head on them all the time.

Yeah, that's pretty much what you do with airplane models when you're a kid. :-)
