In WWII Sweden helped Finland against the Russians in the "Winter-War". The Swedish airforce joined Finland with a couple of J8:s Gladiators in which were repainted with Finnish swastikas and camouflage.

My model is a basically an old Matchbox kit, extensively rebuilt and with scratchbuilt skis. Figures are from Preiser.
