SPAD VII Skin pack of Escadrille 561 for First Eagles 2, Gold & 1. 

Just adding small complements and personal markings to the original stock game skins, to represent the SPADs VII used by ESC 561 in Italy. (I'm adding two versions

This skin pack depict all known SPAD VII as was Flown by Ltt Frédéric Loiseau, Ltt Jean De Limur, Slt Pierre de Jumilhac of Escadrille 561 at Venice, Italy during
late 1917 early 1918.
