I think we can fix that!
How? To come up with something vaguely scale we'd have to cut down each of the ribs to half its profile (at least) and probably change the spar height. For that much work you might as well cut a whole new set of ribs. The fat, flat-bottomed ailfoil on the BUSA kits is one of the things that really turns me off.

And of course the Spad had like TWICE as many ribs as most other aircraft so that's going to be a LOT of cutting! But here's hoping! [sm=72_72.gif]
