Product Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of SPAD XIII B'6846 of No. 23 Squadron RFC. This plane was flown by Captains James Fitz-Morris and New Zealander Herbert Frank Stacey Drewitt. Fitz-Morris began is career as a gunner on a Vickers F.B. 5, then graduated to F.E.2bs and DH4s with No.25 Squadron. In early 1918 he became a flight commander with No.23 Squadron flying SPADs, gaining seven of his fourteen total air victories on this type. Drewitt gained seven victories on No.23 SPADS before moving to Sopwith Dolphins with No.79 Squadron.
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:S13-Fitz-Morris-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" choice means the prints are spray-coated in the factory, and the difference with the coating 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).
