Zotz Decals is back with another interesting release - AD-4N Skyraiders that served with the French Air Force in North Africa before being handed over to Gabon. While there isn't a stock AD-4N kit available in 1/48 scale, the Tamiya kit can be backdated with the main details needed being the crew entry door on both sides of the fuselage, the dorsal air scoop, and the unique antenna fit.

Look at those color schemes! Not one, but six silver Spads, the four Gabon examples having colorful markings applied to the airframe.

This decal set is provided on two sheets of decals and a full-color instruction sheet with profiles of all six aircraft (aircraft six is on the flip side of the imaged instruction sheet).

This set covers six examples:

  • AD-4N, 125719, 20-LL, French Air Force
  • AD-4N, 124143, Green, Gabon AF
  • AD-4N, 126596, Red, Gabon AF
  • AD-4N, unknown, Yellow, Gabon AF
  • AD-4N, unknown, Blue, Gabon AF
  • AD-4N, unknown, Chad AF
AD-4N AD-4N AD-4N

This set will definitely give you an interesting Spad for the contest table!

Recommended!
