Product Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of SPAD VII S1456 of Lt. William Thaw of SPA 124 (Lafayette) Escadrille. William "Bill" Thaw began his WWI career by volunteering for the French Foreign Legion in 1914. He flew Deperdussin, Caudrons, Nieuports before switching to the SPAD 7 as part of Lafayette Escadrille (N124, later SPA 124). When SPA124 transferred to USAS command, Thaw was promoted to Major and took command of its successor, the 103rd Aero Squadron. Like several Lafayette Escadrille planes, S1456 features the pilot's initial as its individual marking.
No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use. It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired. The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit. The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card. You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:SPAD7-Thaw-card.jpg.
Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks. Both are robust materials and fine for gaming. Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces. "Matte HDFC" and "Smooth FCN12" choices mean the prints are oversprayed in the factory, and the difference with the overspray is subtle. You can find more material photos and comparisons at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF).
