Gloster Gladiator
« on: January 14, 2016, 04:12:43 PM »
Finally finished one! It's a 1/72 Airfix Gladiator, slight WIFF with the colour scheme changed and fitout. Stuffed the cowl completely and also muffed the weathering, but at least it's finished. Didn't do the kit justice, its a nice one.





Thanks for looking.

I've always had a soft-spot for the Gladiator and it's a real treat for me to see your take on it, Mushi!

I think you really nailed that famous camo scheme and don't feel too bad about the cowling. All my models have some huge flaw in them somewhere. I like to think flaws give the build personality. Besides, that cowling could be caused by careless ground crew. Been known to happen.

This is one of my favorite Gladiators to come along recently!
