Thomas WirschingThank you. The exhaust was painted with Alclad Exhaust manifold color. It matches spot on. The Airframe was painted with Alclad High shine silver and Gunze Khaki green. The struts were painted in vallejo straight black.. I will "steal" the Latvian markings from Eduard`s Limited Edition Gloster Gladiator set as I will use special Lithuanian markings for that bird later😁

Thomas WirschingFinished my Latvian Bulldog today. The SBS rigging wires are very nice but careful work and a steady hand is necessary here. Now its time for the pilot and a small diobase. At the few pictures I have about the latvian Bulldogs they all thave their upper and lower right sided national emblems unevenly displaced to the inner wing . This looked very dorky to me and I took the artistic licence and placed them symmectrically which looks much more aestetical to me.

Thomas WirschingHallo Felix, die neuen Bausätze von Airfix sind einfach toll gemacht, hab schon die Tiger Moth gebaut und hab noch eine Hunter, die Walrus und die Avro Anson auf Lager. Alle Teile an der Bulldog waren passgenau, lediglich der Übergang der Auspufftöpfe zu den Zylinderköpfen von SBS war etwas knifflig. Ein Auspuffstück ist mir abgebrochen, und mußte scratch ersetzt werden. Hat aber noch niemand gemerkt 😁

Album info
I like exotic aircraft so it was imperative for me to choose another than the usual british ones and I actually found an interesting one: One of the recipients of the Bristol Bulldog was the small Latvian Airforce. They kept the machines until the russian occupation. The surviving machines where incorporated into the russian airforce later.
