When I was about 9 years old I started building WWI airplane kits while staying at my grandma's lake house in Wisconsin. They were pretty simple with a wing span of about 5 inches or so. This Spad is quite a bit larger and I built it about 7 years later during the Snoopy & The Red Barron craze. The helicopter is a model from the Soviet Union that a friend sent me. Wow it was crude with ill fitting parts. But I got it together. It came with a small jar of glue that smelled awful. It is all staged on my small N scale train layout.
