Not exactly one of the more understated color schemes that the Spad came in, but I guess that camouflage was not exactly the goal here! John O's masterful version does a great job of displaying the distinctive Spad features: the scalloped wings, the unusual engine grill, etc.
It's a pity that it is less well-known today, and that such an extraordinary individual as Eddie Rickenbacker isn't remembered as he probably should be. |
John M Oshust | 29-Jan-14 12:03 | Gee I forgot that I built this one. If my memory is correct this plane returned from the war and was painted up to fly around the states at air exhibitions |
