That spinner changes the whole look of the thing.
Brilliant.....when I saw it at Bolton, it took me a while to realise it was the Airfix SPAD.
Nice one.
That spinner is the business.

First off I gotta say that is that is AMAZING!!!! Brilliant build Martin, I had the same idea,now I've got to think of a different scheme for my one whenI build it. This could well be one fro the Falklands build.....

Very cool....has just the right look!   As a side note the Skyraider prototypes had a spinner very similar to the one you used.

not wishing to repeat what the other guys have already said, but that spinner really DOES make the whole nose section look a little sleeker (and that's saying something with that huge radial up there).

always a good choice of colour scheme - i don't think that there's a carrier capable plane from before 1960 that wouldn't look great in it!

Nice one, and as said above the spinner on the prop makes the whole thing more sleeker/sexier if that can be applied to an aircraft.

QuoteNice looking build Martin.  It's amazing how much difference the spinner makes.
I just agree with this statement! Brilliant model, really!

Hmmm... a Skyraider with spats...  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.
