Introduced in 1916, the French SPAD VII was a robust and fast fighter aircraft that helped turn the tide of aerial combat in World War I. Powered by a Hispano-Suiza engine, it was prized for its durability and firepower. Pilots such as Georges Guynemer excelled in it, making the SPAD VII a major asset in the Allies' air superiority.

Relive the thrilling era of World War I aerial combat with Guillow's Kit #102 Spad VII! This meticulously designed 1/17 scale balsa wood model features laser-cut balsa parts for a precise building experience. With a wingspan of 45 cm, this kit includes everything you need: detailed plans and assembly instructions, scale plastic wheels from World War I, a complete set of decals, vacuum-formed plastic parts, an FAI rubber motor, a propeller, and fabric covering, to create a stunning replica of the legendary biplane flown by French aviators. Perfect for hobbyists aged 14 and up, whether you're a detail-obsessed scale model builder or a free flight enthusiast, this US-made kit will provide hours of hands-on fun in its construction and flight.

The kit includes all the parts needed to build the plane, but you will need a few supplies to enjoy this creative hobby of building miniature balsa wood planes: a flat surface on which you can pin the parts (for example, a piece of thick cardboard or a sheet of cork), pins to hold the parts in place during construction, a razor blade or craft knife, sandpaper, glue, paint, and a paintbrush. These items are not included in the kit.
