I'msure there are more,  but given the new Airfi Mk>i coming i thought these were worth posting while I was finding them (looking through a stream of colour pics here http://sa-kuva.fi/neo?tem=webneo_carousel1bbn2&maxnum=10000&lang=FIN&timeout=15&auto=YES&startdate=&enddate=&publication=&verification=7aa7d22810600c57792a12b661bdefc8&xsearch_content=&from=7aa7d2216051075ed7a3f169e81628af&count=1&nextids=7aa7d22765214d155610f214c583eed4f1c42dece9e359469b60b181b6eead0f74a95076b88a9fb02c2dd1121321e318fd4ede8568ae97ce3c2684b09fb693b0f44247a0a9a81bf06f690574aaf55c36bb8a67ec8d526fb0

Terve Troy!

 

And thank you for sharing these photos. I'm also looking forward for that Airfix release. I'm going to build two: one Finnish and one RAF example from Singapore. It will make an interesting pair because both Luonetjärvi AB and RAF Tengah were built roughly the same time. Both have beautiful Art Deco style buildings and both air bases were built for Blenheims.

 

On the other hand I have an original factory drawing for Sotamaalaus (War Paint)...

 

Kind Regards,

Antti
