Spad S. VII |
It's been a while since I have been in a Toy store and right away a Ford GT-40 / Transformer catches my eye. Absolutely useless, but it might be interesting to see how they implemented all the folding mechanisms. I wander around for a while and I find a bunch of cool stuff. Normally I am pretty immune to impulse buying, but I am feeling a little low, so I go ahead and indulge and buy a couple of things.
One of them was model of a Spad S.VII. It came in an easy to build kit form. Already painted, no glue required, just some screws and a little dexterity. I finally sat down and put it together this morning. Took about 30 minutes.
Looking at the model I notice there is a four-into-one exhaust pipe manifold on each side of the engine housing. That looks suspiciously like what you would find with a V-8 engine. Could it be? Well, yes it could. A Hispano-Suiza V-8 to be exact.
Update June 2019 replaced missing picture.
