The Northrop N-3G Sparrowhawk is an imaginary landplane export version for Britain of the real-life N-3PB floatplane patrol bomber sold to Norway in 1940. To do this color profile I actually reworked an existing profile of the seaplane, removed the float, changed the radial engine for an inline one, changed the colors and added markings.

For more on the N-3 and for the whole story about how this project came to life, check the Northrop N-3 Rocket page.
