1/24 SPAD S.XIII Biplane Fighter

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

The SPAD was the first of a series of highly successful biplane fighter aircraft produced by Society Pour L'Aviation et ses Derives (SPAD) during the First World War. It was a single-seat biplane that was sturdy and had good climbing rate to 12,000 ft. (3,660 m) and good diving characteristics. Although less manoeuvrable than the lightweight Nieuport 17, it proved to be a very stable gun platform. It made its inaugural flight in April 1916 and approximately 5,600 aircraft were built.
