What ho Chaps! I thought you might like to see progress on this build, which will be used in a review for Pheon's Gladiator decals- finishing the model in a slightly controversial scheme. But more of that anon... Roden's Glad has been around for a few years now, and is not a bad little kit, if you can cope with the rather messy 3 part cowling, and slightly underwhelming cockpit. I've rebuilt the cowling to correct a few issues I think it has ( namely the too wide front cowl circumference, and the rather iffy exhausts on the underside). If you have the model - compare them to the pics here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/76578-gloster-gladiator/ And hopefully you'll see what I mean The cockpit has had some extra detail in the form of plastic card bulkheads and strip detail, and the instrument panel has been done using the excellent Airscale instrument decals I found at Telford. They are worth a try - as each instrument decal has its own very tight carrier film, and they bed down well using Microsol/set. Anyhow - now at the painting stage - so here's how she looks this morning. Lots more to do, but its coming together!! Cheers, and please feel free to comment as you see fit. Jonners
