This is my Latvian Gladiator. The kit used was the Roden 1/48 Gladiator, with the carb intake under the cowling made out of a rocket head from the scrap box. Decals were from Mike Grant Decals (unfortunately, he no longer carries the 1/48 version). I was fortunate to meet a Latvian pilot who was in training at the same base used by the Gladiators; he explained the use of different flight colors on wheel hubs and spinner cones. Photos of this aircraft show a light flight color, so my best guess was yellow. Jim
