Gee, building a SPAD from a kit (if there were any) would kinda spoil the whole thing. Spads are the bad boys, the outlaws, the fly to live, live to fly comancheros on the ragged edge of civilization.

SPAD flyers get the bike spokes, the girls, the beer. These are the guys who built the Phoenix, (the real ones they built for the movie), They are Glenn Curtis in his June Bug, rattling along with out ailerons, they are Cal Rodgers in the Vinn Fizz, flying coast to coast regardless of how many times he had to crash to do it. They are Otto Lilienthal harnessed to Bamboo and bedsheets, jumping off a cliff, Slim Lindbergh on his first parachute jump, Jimmy Doolittle's boys ditching off the china coast...
