Great result and the rigging looks spot on. What is the colour on the engine nacelle?
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Nice!

I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

First rate job.
Re: Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator
Than you guys.
The engine nacelle is Model Master Jet exhaust enamel hand brushed and then top coated with Tamiya clear out of a rattle can. Fuselage was Tamiya silver leaf out of the can and again coated with the Tamiya clear.TobyC wrote:Great result and the rigging looks spot on. What is the colour on the engine nacelle?

Re: Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator
That is a real beauty. I wasted weeks a few years ago trying to correct the tatty old Airfix kit, and then they go and produce a remastered version!
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.
Re: Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator
I attempted the old kit but never did finish it. Or maybe you could say I did finish it however not the way it is supposed to be "finished" (in the bin)!B4en wrote:That is a real beauty.

This kit is light years ahead.

Re: Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator
Have I mentioned that I love this build? I love this build. Superb finish on a great wee kit.
Is this your sanderling?.

Re: Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator
That is a very impressive build - the finish and the rigging are really good. Many congratulations.
Re: Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator
Thank you guys. It really is worth a try (rigging)! This was my first try and it was challenging but a great experience. It adds a lot and is not too hard.
