DougN Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Here are a couple of photos of my work-in-progress Roden Gladiator in 1/48th. Project on hold for a bit as I've had to pack up the model desk whilst we sell the house. Once we get into a new one and I set up the modeling room, I'll be back at it! Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place! Cheers! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks for the kind words lads! The squadron markings are masked and painted, used some generic roundels and the kit decals to create the codes. The upper wing fit/attachment is pretty tenuous; the kit attachment points for the struts don't really work well. I may have to take it off again and see if I can get it to fit better. Also struggling with the best way to rig it with something that will resemble the flat flying wires where appropriate. I have a photo etched set that may do the trick. Cheers!

perry Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 In 1/48 Doug, I think I would just use invisible thread and spray silver. Don't use turnbuckles though, the wires went through small round plates and the attaching points were not visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
