claudius Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I'd like to post a double work of mine. I already posted it on Facebook... so, excuse me this is not new to someone. Fiat CR-42 and Gloster Gladiator represent the peak of biplane technical development and I find them both and equally extremely interesting. Just like a confrontation of two different schools and styles, British and Italian. Such as Ferrari vs Aston Martin... Epic battles between the two contendants over the Mediterranean as well as Africa... (Sea Gladiator is a Roden kit, CR-42 Classic Airframes. Both 1/48) Edited May 6, 2015 by claudius 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 That's a nice pair of models. I did the original Classic Airframes Cr42 and it was a beast of a kit. That looks like the second issue, how was it to build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like the second issue, how was it to build? Yes it was the second issue. Not bad at all. Sure, it is not for beginners. It comes with resins and photoetched parts. I preferred it to the Italeri, even if the latter would have been much easier to assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Two beautiful manifestations of the modeller's art! I'm a sucker for 'tween the war biplanes and these look as good as they come. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Two superb models as usual Claudius. The finish and weathering on both is excellent. I have always liked both the aircraft, and you really have done them both justice. Amazing to think that these two biplanes were dogfighting during the Second World War rather than the First. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
