Questions on Kits, Decals, Tools and PilotsDiscuss Gloster Gladiator decals in the Modeling forums; I recently bought this sheet off ebay:
Gloster Gladiator - 1/48 scale - Print Scale publishing group
Unfortunetly the sheet ...
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.

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.
