Quick question - references would be most acceptable

What were the skis fitted to the Swedish Gladiators in and out of Finland made from. Wood ?

Metal and wood.

Note there's a Roden boxing of the Gladiator II with included skiis (and Finnish & Swedish markings)

Steve and Adam,

Spot on, concise and informative replies - many thanks.

Steve - Drawings and photos - just what I was looking for.

Adam - was not aware of the Roden kit, may invest but I have half a dozen of the old Pyro/Inpact/Hawk kits in the loft at present.

Thank you Gentlemen, may I be the first to wish you Seasons Greetings and may all your models be perfect.

I got an extra set from the Roden kit, send me your snail mail if you want them.

Two things, you have to mount them on the Pyro/Hawk struts, cutting the wheel attachment. Second, you need to sand down the raised joints a bit.
