looking for witer

Did you mean "winter"?

 

[futuredogfight]

yes my bad

 

[Wurger]

OK. Just had some of doubt. To be honest I haven't seen images of Finnish Hawks in a such camo scheme. These were of either Green (Khaki)/ Blue Grey one or Green/Black/Light Blue one. Of course with yellow quick ID elements.

 

[futuredogfight]

went trough google and everythhing, I guess not

 

[Wurger]

I have gone through a couple of books about Finnish AF additionally. But nothing has been found as well.
If you look for something more colourful I would suggest French Hawks used both in France and in Africa.

 

[futuredogfight]

naw, I was just intrested because I have a small model P-36 in American colors but would like to repaint it in an easy Finnish camo.

 

[Wurger]

OK. I see. Here you are a few of two P-36 in two tone camo scheme..

Hawk 75A-4 (Cyclone engine) Yellow 2 (CU-502 s/n 13852) of 1/LLv 12 after delivery to 3/LLv 32 in July 1941. On 20th July 1943 it was converted on Twin Wasp engine. During service with LLv 32 it scored 1/2 aerial victory, spending 376 hrs 25 min in the air.
