This is a
full-color 1:144 3D print of the SPAD VII of Lt. Armand Jean Galliot Joseph de Turenne of Escadrille SPA 48. This 15-victory ace joined Escadrille 48 (then N48) in June 1916, where he scored his first six victories before moving on to lead SPA 12. He won numerous honors and was promoted to Capitaine in 1918. The hunting horn and shield were his personal emblems.
No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use. It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired. The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit. The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card. You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks. Both are robust materials and fine for gaming. Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces. "Matte HDFC" and "Smooth FCN12" choices mean the prints are oversprayed in the factory, and the difference with the overspray is subtle. You can find more material photos and comparisons at
