Here is my completed build of the Gladiator. A very fun model to build.

That looks very nice. I hope I can do as good a job when the time comes.

Fantabulous!
Great build and finish.
Thanks for sharing,

Great result and the rigging looks spot on. What is the colour on the engine nacelle?

Lovely build and very nicely photographed!

Nice!

First rate job.

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.

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!

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)!

This kit is light years ahead.

Beautiful! Very clever use of magnets too.

Super job. Nicely posed, too.

Have I mentioned that I love this build? I love this build. Superb finish on a great wee kit.

That is a very impressive build - the finish and the rigging are really good. Many congratulations.

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.
