Fuad Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Good day, gentlemen! This is just my next model of legendary Gladiator. But it is not Airfix "new tool", this is Czech kit producer - "Sword". Plus I used etched details set from "Eduard" and chassis from not so famous "Northstarmodels".

Fuad Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Very realistic rigging; how did you do it? Rigging made from a nylon thread. Wing drilled through, and the holes on the wing smeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuad Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 BTW, what did you use for the forward cowling? Cowling is painted by Alclad metallic (copper). Then littlebit X-19 Tamiya with one drop of engine manifold color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That is really nice - excellent detail and very nice rigging. It took me a while to find those wheels on a real one but I did http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/clouting1.jpg They look as though they were borrowed from a Toyota I can't find a contemporary WW2 picture. I'd go for a bit more grey in your collector ring mix http://duxfordfotogallery.co.uk/communities/2/004/007/761/302/images/4590477979.swf http://www.airteamimages.com/pics/126/126659_800.jpg http://www.britmodeller.com/walkarounds/aircraft/gladiator/glad%2006.jpg but that's a small criticism of an excellent model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I just blindly trust the guys from North Star models. But for the same truth, I must say that in the set were solid caps too. I understood that the caps put on the wheels.
