SPAD S.A.4 1/72 Kit
The French built SPAD XIII was one of the most famous
fighters of World War I. The SPAD used a liquid-cooled inline engine when most

machine guns firing through the propeller arc or a deadly 37mm Hotchkiss
cannon, the SPAD was widely feared.
The SPAD. XIII is one
of the best-known fighters of the First World War. Introduced in the summer
of 1917, it was the standard fighter of the French Air Force and was later
adopted by many nations. Plastic kit features detailed surfaces and
includes base, two figures and choice of markings for seven French and
Italian aces. 6¾" wingspan; assembly required.
