Planet models gloster F9/37 & F 5/34 ( what are they like ? )

[brewerjerry]

Hi

Just won a gloster F9/37 and a gloster F5/34 on e bay, luckily for me seems people are to busy to bid, got them at just over $30 each

Or maybe I just have wierd tastes, a bit like my g/f's :) ?

I have never built a planet kit before, always to expensive.

any suggestions on what they are like and any thing to watch out for when building them ?

Googling

a couple of website say two F5/34 's were built anyone know the second serial ?

And used to 1941, anyone know the camo scheme or seen a photo ?

Cheers

Jerry

K8089 was the second one. If you go to some of the Flight sim sites, (Flightsim.com etc) it appears that you are not the only one to like it - Google "Gloster F5/34" - great for whatiffers - nice RCAF one.

I built the Planet XF10F Jaguar, and here is the WIP:

It went together quite well. I'd buy more from them. My understanding is that Planet is just a trade name for CMK. Now, when will we see these Gloster goodies?

Darn it Bill, having just read through your build thread, I'm much more interested in the 1/48 one that someone's trying to convince me to buy than I was- what a beautiful job you did!
