As soon as I saw this, I knew I wanted in, but what to go with? Usually a no brainer as I would go with the victors champion,
a magnificent Hurricane! Fast forward to last Saturday when I realised my mediocre build would be lost amongst a myriad
of other fantastic Hurri builds. so what to do? 💡Then it came to me! Tucked away in the South West, but not really seeing
much action but still deserving an honourable mention - the Gloster Gladiator. 247 squadron doing there best to defend
the vitally important naval base. I think they deserve to be here so rummaging on the shelf to find the tatty boxed Roden
offering, I made a start:
Most of the kit parts that will be used in the build:
The kit has options for wheels or skis, and also the relevant 247 sqn markings.
I've also treated the kit to a couple of extras. Building started with the usual detail painting:
The basic cockpit is just about done, seat belts will be added later:
There's also a pile of painted engine bits awaiting assembly:
And that's where we are at the moment, probably get more done later but right now it's my turn to make dinner as I'm starved!
Laters.....
