Small update here, test fitting and seeing what needs to be done. I haven’t sorted out the seat harness yet so the seat isn’t finished or glued in. The fuel cell won’t be very visible when finished but I like the idea of not having a black hole there. A bit more of detail painting left to be done also before I close it up….  :whistle:

I think so, with both hinged side doors open, should be a ok view ..

Found this doing a bit of online research and thought I’d share it, don’t know why but it has a appealing look about it … I wonder what the level of peacetime training was for the Norwegian, how many hours in type did they have, and how well did they fly and fight. From what little I’ve read considering the circumstances they did a remarkable job facing overwhelming odds.

Found a interesting Gladiator article for the history of events of April the 9th, invasion day of Norway.

Dag Krohn was piloting Gladiator 421, and he was credited with 2 air victories, massively interesting to me. Don’t know why it took me so long to research the model I’m building, but now all of a sudden my build has more meaning to me and regained a bit of lost momentum….
