I've had two long-term projects for some time now. On the one hand the topic "Turkish Air Force (Türk Hava Kuvvetleri)", on the other hand the topic "Finnish Air Force (Suomen Ilmavoimat)".
Today I want to show you my Finnish Dornier Do 17Z in winter camo.
For information ..... showing swastikas in public is illegal in Germany. My Pichoster is from Germany, so I had to cover the Finnish insignia ("Hakaristi") for the photos ... sorry !!!!
The Finnish swastika ("Hakaristi") has a different meaning than the Nazi one. Although Finland fought until 1944 on the side of Nazi Germany.
In 1918, the Swedish "Baron Eric von Rosen" handed over a "Thulin D" to the Finnish "White Army".
The plane was marked with the baron's personal lucky symbol, a blue swastika.
In honor of Rosen, this symbol was adopted as a national insignia for the new Finnish Air Force.
The ICM kit is pretty good. Only a few problems with the fit in the area of the landing gear and engine gondolas cloud the crafting fun.
It was painted with colors from Revell and Gunze.
