About product

SPAD VII 1:40 (Smer) - a fighter biplane of the First World War

A plastic kit of the French SPAD VII fighter biplane in the unusual 1:40 scale from Smer. The model captures one of the most successful fighters of the First World War and comes as injection-molded plastic with a decal sheet. Because of the biplane layout, rigging between the wings is part of the build.

The real subject

The SPAD VII was a French single-seat fighter biplane used from 1916. It stood out for its rugged structure, its good speed in a dive and its reliable engine, which made it a favorite machine of a number of Allied aces. It flew with the French and other air forces and pointed the way to the later, more powerful types from the same maker.

Building and painting tips

The most demanding step is the rigging between the wings, which looks best made from thin thread stretched into place after painting. Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic and sand the fuselage joints back. Paint the lower wing and the fuselage first, then assemble the upper wing on its struts. Linen and camouflage shades with restrained weathering suit a subject of this period.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of First World War aircraft
  • Enthusiasts of biplanes and period machines
  • Modelers who want to try rigging
  • Moderately advanced builders

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The SPAD VII from Smer is made in the unusual 1:40 scale. It is the real and confirmed scale of this particular model.

Rigging wire is not supplied as a material, but rigging between the wings is a normal part of building a biplane and we recommend adding it.

Because of the biplane layout and the rigging it is better suited to moderately advanced modelers who have the patience for more delicate parts.
