Thanks fellow modelers! I tried to be as accurate as possible to model historical facts. Nice, that some of you like this.

That is something really amazing and one of those things I love on scalemates..learning history!! As a German I never knew that the finnish airforce had those "blue Hakenkreuz" markings between 1918-1945

Thank You all for interesting!
Stefan: Indeed the first national emblem of the Finnish Air Force was a blue "hakenkreuz". It was painted on the very first aircraft of FAF. Thulin D type of aeroplane was donated to us by swedish count Eric von Rosen. The blue swastika was his good luck emblem. (Originally an Indian symbol of sun). By the order of the commander of finnish army, this emblem was to be used as a national recognition mark of our aircraft.
Sebastijan: I like to make models, wich have something that differes from the standard scheme or has other special details. Espcially at the war time our military aircraft had remains of some specialities of the cuontry ,from where they had been got from.

Hi Ari,
it would be a pity, if your interesting info on this G-50 would disappear. If you would add the text into your photoalbum, it would always be on top.
