Unfortunetly the sheet only comes with side view, does anyone have an idea of what the gladiator top looks like for that finnish set? Its not the standard black/green combu, the side view picture they have shows something like RAF 1940 on top and an odd lt brown/light green on the side, and teh text says the wings should be black/white.
I need to see this, at least an upper view for the cammo pattern.
If anyone can help me it would be much apprciated, i intend the Finnish Gladiator to be part of group build #12.
Gladiator I Version powered by a single 840 hp (627 kW) Bristol Mercury IX air-cooled radial piston engine. The aircraft was designated J 8 in Swedish Air Force service. Delivered1937-38, 378 built.
Gladiator II Version powered by a single Bristol MercuryVIIIA air-cooled radial piston engine. The aircraft was designated J 8A in Swedish Air Force service, 270built.
....and here I thought that we only had Gladiator II's!
The Finnish colour scheme was the RAF 'Shadow Compensating' colour scheme, where lighter colours were used in areas of shadow - lower wing and parts of the fuselage.
