Our dear friend Old No.1 has started this build long time ago ... You can see it here: http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/forum/makete-aviona-aircraft-modeling/spad-xii-early-eduard-172/.
Lately he has decided to give up and had sent it to me so I could give it a try... Thank You once and again!

Here are original Eduards' packaging and my gift:

I intend to build planes of Georges Guynemer and Francesco Baracca:

Wanted to take pictures before the start but Canon decided to leave me dry

- I couldn't wait for batteries to recharge

so here is my woodwork. No.1 had already painted everything in base sail color:

It looks much better in nature than in Canon's macro-mode...

The other one is, as seen in mentioned post, already assembled and partialy painted:

Unfortunatelly this has to be cleaned in Mr. Musculo so I could paint it fresh, although it looks marvelous...

My further works on the cockpit:

It's ready for the assembly...

Fuselage assembly gave me some headache - never had so much problems with fitting of Eduard part

...
Inner side of the upper part had to be sanded because it collided with instruments on the dashboard:

Forgot to mask-off over-wing tanks, this's done and has yet to be painted. Tomorrow evening, I believe... Then I'll also correct some minor errors and move on to struts. These were, after my recognition of B&W photos, made of wood of some lighter shade - therefore I'll paint them like fuselage and interior of Albatroses - combination of Hu 148 and 110.

Propeller has recieved only first layer of wood texture, after the second one it's going to be nice and shiny

It's almost prepared for assembly - going to be quick, I hope

This is going to be painted after research of http://www.unosettantadue.net/content/view/35/70/lang,it/, which is unfortunatelly now temporarily unavailable

Gyunemer's machine is slowly turning into an airplane - I've attached lower wings. Although I read some reviews on the net, claiming there are big gaps which has to be filled, I didn't find nothing extremely bad:
