1:144 SPAD SA.2
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a SPAD SA.2. Also available is a SPAD SA.1 and SPAD SA.4. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
The innovative -- if only partially successful -- SPAD SA.1 was upgraded with a 110hp engine and various minor adjustments to lead to the SPAD SA.2. The horizontal stabilizers were widened with parallel edges and a set of cowl-cheeks were added to improve cooling. French SA.2s were handed out in ones and twos to reconnaissance units to provide escort. The were understandably not popular with the observers, but the limited forward view also made them hard for pilots to land. With Aviation Militaire they served in the latter half of 1915 before being phased out.
In Russia, the SPAD SA.2 and SPAD SA.4 continued service through 1917 and likely into the Civil War.
