Spad XIII

Album image #1
I don't like 1/72. The detail is terrible.  
 

Album image #2
Not too bad for hand painting. 
 

Album image #3
The decal sol and set were confusing me, which goes first? 
 

Album image #4
What happens when you paint a dark color in the dark. I just wanted to finish and go to sleep. 
 

Album image #5
Photography skills are improving. Was tricky to get lighting under wing near fuselage. Was the only place with detail on this kit. 
 

Album image #6
Used at least three paint manufacturer's: tamiya,vallejo, AK and model master are what I remember. Ordered anthracite but still hasn't come.

Album info

First attempt at an aircraft. Definitely don't like the 1/72 scale. Its a quick build and I see detail accessories but feel it would be like putting makeup on a pig. Maybe I'm just old and blind but don't think the details would be visible at that scal. Perhaps doing a large diorama would call for less quality and more quantity.
