Series 7, what we know

[QUOTE=Du doch nicht!;282233]The grey Spad was also the only plane with a little issue: One of the outer struts loosened, but despite my poor model-building skilly (believe me, really poor) I could fix it with a drip of glue. No biggie really.

I had the same issue with 2 out of the 3 SPADs I ordered. It's a non-issue for most of us experienced types, an easy fix,but I can see how it would put off a new buyer.

Received my order and really pleased, will be getting a flight of the yellow Halberstadts

However, likes others it seems, I had to re-glue the struts of the grey Spad, pluse a Halberstat, yes the yellow one and a Bristol. Seems the glue is in short supply in China maybe

Hmm, there seems to be a pattern with the strut/wing join being weak.

I'll have to look more closely at some of these offerings... Halberstadts and SPADs... and a Bristol, too? Hope this is just a quirk of statistics and not the indication of a growing trend.

I wouldn't let it put me off of buying them. It's an easy fix, and I have had it happen with other planes.
