Need help finding decals for 1/32 HC Spad XIII

HELP! I need help finding decals for 1/32 HObbycraft Spad XIII I bought last week, I got it cheap for $7.00, but it was missing instruction and decals. So I have been searching for a week now, and I can't find a source for replacement decals. I have other kits with French roundels, but I prefer (USAS) American. I have been able to find American insignia, but it's the artwork that I can't find. I prefer if I can find Rickenbacher's aircraft, but I can only find 1/28 decals from Copper State Models. Is a 12% difference in scales noticeable?

It's an old kit, granted, but a REALLY good one, on par with Hobby Craft's 1/32 Camel "Le Rhone" and "Clerget" releases. Hobby Wholesale in Edmonton, Alberta (who bought out Hobby Craft's stock when they folded) still shows both Spad XIII releases in stock at a reasonable price. If I could find one for the $7 you paid, I'd be in Hog Heaven.

I also got the Special Hobby Nieuport 11 and 16 for $25 each. I was supposed to pay $15 for the Spad, but he told me that it was missing decals and instructions. I figured, how hard could it be to find aftermarket decals? I guess I need to research before impulse buys. I probably would have ordered one from them if you had not had them.
