For those interested, I just received a special hobby1:48 spad VII from squadron, they are running a sale on them. They advertise the kit they have in stock as being for a captured machine in german markings. It isn't a separate packaging, but is the US and RFC markings kit with an additional german decal set and a resin piece or two added. Stickers on the outside of the box advertising the german markings are the only indication of the contents. A pleasant suprise for me since I bought the kit to do a USAS machine, CJ Biddle's markings are a very welcome suprise, as that is whose machine I originally wanted to depict.

Greetings all.
Just for your further information the decals have the mis-information that this was a machine brought down by Jasta 38. A blow up of the original photo images proves this is a mchine from Esc. 31 brought down by a pilot of Jasta 36. A unit near and dear to my heart.
C&C International 20 #1 1989 “Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel Nr.36" by some plugger hereabouts.
Early issue here.
Rowan's Review I simply provided some infor for this review. Back in 2004. Wow!
