hello,

I'm looking to find a picture of the 'Spad' of the Col Sam Berman use during the Vietnam war.

I have found a box art of a model kit but not real picture. :cry:

Thanks a lot for your help.

I have found a decal sheet that has these markings. I was thinking of finishing my 1/6 R/C Ziroli Skyraider in these markings but have decided on another.

Here is the link to the decal sheet.

I have only seen one photo of the plane in the many books I have on the A1-H. Warbird Tech Series Volume 13 page 67.

Hope the helps.

Tom

SPang,

I am always on the hunt for the A1-H that was flown by Richard Drury named
"Sopwith Camel" or "Midnight Cowboy". AF 35-257

If you run across any please pass them on.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the link but it's not the same aircraft number.

AF 35 552 which have this particular camo on the tail.

But, the link are very good for an another Spad built.
