1:144 SPAD 7
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a SPAD 7. 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 SPAD 7 was designed to take advantage of the new 150hp Hispano-Suiza 8Aa engine. While there were teething problems when the SPAD 7 first appeared, they were quickly resolved and the SPAD 7 was found to be of strong construction and very fast in a dive. It was somewhat less maneuverable than the Nieuport 17, but this problem was mitigated when the plane was later refitted with the 180hp Hispano-Suiza 8Ab.
The SPAD 7 served with dozens of French escadrilles and flew with almost every Entente combatant. While it was anticipated they would all be replaced by SPAD 13s in 1918, limits in SPAD 13 production had the SPAD 7 holding out much longer through 1918 than desired.
