The only Spad, that's better than the Spad itself!

It was the only SPAD that could out-SPAD a SPAD!

Would've loved to see the face of any downed crew in Vietnam, being told that some Spads etc., are on their way to pick them up, and some original Spads shows up instead for later Spads....

Never mind Vietcong, they'd be like WTF!

I think that I have to....or what do you say @Wurger ?

Koszaliński Portal Modelarski - W Pudle - samolot obserwacyjny Breguet 14 A2 - 1/48 - Fly

The FLY 48039 is a very nice kit. If you look for the one of the Polish 13th Scout Squadron it is good choice.

The markings there present the individual operational tours completed by W/Cdr Teofil Pożyczka on the aircraft. The thirty bombs is the first tour. The secound tour ( the champagne tour ) is marked with the 20 glasses. The third "deadly tour" is marked with the 12 skulls. The known pic of the lanc with all the markings was taken at the end of February 1945. There are other shots of her taken in August 1944 with the first tour completed and the second one started ( four glasses only ).
