Official Spad VII painting thread

[Teaticket]

Gorgeous, Peter.
Love the panthers.
I should hire you to do my painting ...

Thanks. I was thinking in my retirement to paint up 2 of whatever I paint and sell the 2nd to help pay for the madness. Haven't yet found the time (or place) to start production but when we finally find a house and settle down, thats my plan. How much are people willing to pony up for a well painted plane ARES will never do?

More nice Russkies Bob. The skull on the SPAD reminds me of one of Brumowski's.

You already know how much I'll pay

[mikeemagnus]

Excellent Chris. Really nice paint jobs. Should stand a good chance against those Albatros DIs and DIIs in the OTT campaign

[malachi]

Thanks, guys. These particular SPADs seem a bit fragile. Perhaps I should have included the pics where they were "shot down out of control."

[Dak21]

Very nice Chris!

The headers of the exhaust pipes should be the gray metal color

[Flying Officer Kyte]

I would not worry too much Chris.
With the heat going through, they will soon burn off to the bare metal before turning that lovely Autumnal red with the rust.

Very nice SPAD Gary. The all dark green looks sharp. Quite a different look compared to the French yellow or camo.
