SPAD XIII C1. "Barber Pole" for First Eagles 2 & 1

This is a skin for SPAD XIII C1. "SHOWBIRDS" to be used in  First Eagles 2 and 1 

Historical notes:

This skin depict the SPAD XIII C1. Flown by Lieutenant Dudley "Red" Outcalt of 94th Aero Squadron. 
Ft. Alexander, Koblenz, Germany. April of 1919.

The pilots of the 94th Aero Squadron decided to paint their SPAD XIIIs. In an attempt to outdo one another they came up with what were termed the "showbirds". The planes were painted up for the April 1919 Air show at Koblenz. 

During the Spring of 1919, "Barber Pole" took part of the "Showbirds" SPADs during the occupation duties in Germany, with more eight colourfull SPADs of 94th Aero Squadron.

This Aircraft flew probablly with Marlin guns, and not with Vickers.

known issues:

Painting the stripes in spirals was a problem because at the end of the tail's aircraft, there is a distortion that pulls all the lines back. I connected the stripes with each other as far as was possible; so you may notice imperfections in the bottom side.
