Thanks Dave. It’s great to see all these being built. I hope they are a big seller for ICM Bruce

Oh My! That just looks absolutely delightful. Lovely work Steve Bruce

This looks terrific Modeller. I far prefer your rigging method to mine. Sounds a lot easier! Nice clear photos too Bruce

Thanks Chris. I’ve just found your Wessex post. What fantastic work you are doing. I need to ge5 Hendies bits Bruce

Thanks Bradders, The flaps were not deployed when parked up, but just wanted to make it a teeny bit different from others

Thanks Steve. Good to know about the Tiger Moth and Stearman too, as the Tiger Moth is in the stash Bruce

First one off the bench for 2024. This is the first of 2 Gladiators I am building Simply a very enjoyable kit to put together Ive added a Yahu Instrument panel and Master Detail gun barrels. Flaps are from an AIMS PE set. The markings are painted on using a mask set from 1 Man Army out of Belgium Rigging is from EZ line. There's nothing easy about it!! Probably the most frustrating part of the build for me. Thanks for looking Bruce

Lovely work in all aspects Bruce

That is beautifully done Goran Bruce

Sensational job Shaun. I’ve seen a couple of these in the early scheme now, and it’s made me rethink doing my original idea of doing a LOTE scheme Great stuff Bruce

Originally a RAF one. It was great to see it in the air again after many years of it being grounded with wing spar and inability to find starter cartridges for the engines .

Most useful Thanks Troy and Thanks Graham Bruce

Great build @AliGauld I’m building one at the moment. Is the AIMS rigging set worthy getting? Bruce

Absolutely stunning finish, and photography. Also Thanks for making the masks and Ed parts available for download Bruce

Lovely build Andrew. Just love the shade of EDSG you have Bruce

A great year Steve, the venom is my pick too, but good work on seeing the meteor through Bruce

I am currently building the ICM kit which I want to finish as the aforementioned 247 SQN machine and was about to pose this very question, which you have addressed @Graham Boak . it is interesting that the profile of HP B in Wingleader shows it in just DE/DG, The accompanying photo, rather than confirming a shadow scheme, just seems to show the machine well lit by sun on one side. The other photo of a 247 SQN Gladiator seems to also just be DE/DG. Great observation on HP. B being pictured elsewhere in the book Graham . I’ll go back and look. Postlewaithes profile does state HP. B was camouflaged at the factory rather than field painted, but not what scheme. Your answer though reinforces my own speculation Bruce

All stunning builds and photography Mark. I continue to enjoy your blog Cant wait to see what is on the cards for this year. Bruce

Love that EW Orión, and a well deserved 1st at ScaleACT Ray

These are all brilliant Chris and consistently well executed. I just love your faded colours Bruce

Thanks Stef, surprisingly, it wasn’t too bad. It looked a little complex in the box, and ICMs instructions aren’t the clearest, but went together quite quickly

Thanks Chris, and the same to you Bruce

My job here is done 😀

I guess the benefit of operating over water. Ive just spent a couple of hours looking through your Flickr pages Phil. Im very jealous!! Fabulous photos Bruce

Some lovely builds there, my favourite being the B-17 RIP Richard Bruce
