over the Christmas holidays, I finished a scale model of a Gloster Gladiator. It is a new AIRFIX kit in 1:72. Inspired by a picture of Aviation artist Mark Postlethwaite "Oslo Defender" I finally found the right accessories and above all the right decals to do this particular model.

This Gloster Gladiator has been involved in the first dogfight during operation „Weserübung“. The German Wehrmacht raid on Norway. Sersjant Kristian Fredrik Schye scored the first aerial victory over a Bf 110 on April 9, 1940 near Oslo. There are a few photos of the model on the Flickr album.
