stevej60 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Hi folks a little fun build as there was a set of BoB markings on a sheet I have for a camoflaged Gladiator.nice simple little kit to build,apologies for the rigging not a strong point of mine,used the thinnest grade of evergreen strip which would be better for 1/48 scale thanks for looking.

rmcclure Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Nice job. That really takes me back to the days of rushing off to Woolies with my pocket money! No Woolies now, of course. No pocket money either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Love it....I grew up on matchbox...saved my pocket money and bought the first series for something like $1.00 in Australia. The big kits....eg Wellington or HE 111 were like 4 or 5 dollars. Got a few still in my cabinet of glory...mine aren't that good but I've still got them!

wellsprop Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Lovely kit, well made! I recommend fishing wire for rigging. You can get some really thin stuff and its really cheap. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Very nice i have a bit of a soft spot for the Gladitor and that brings back a few memorys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders154 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 In the "old" days rigging could be done with stretched sprue and a heated sewing needle held just underneath the "wire" to tighten it up. Does anyone still use this method? Lovely job on the kit looks very nice Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I remember rigging an Airfix Gladiator using UHU glue back in the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
