Work In Progress Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Which strikes me as exceedingly good value. Although there must be a very strong chance than a Revell re-box will be even better value shortly, as wuth the Jungmann Edited November 5, 2019 by Work In Progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Those numbers are pretty good and might get one even though still have the Silver Wings resin kit lurking in the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(72 Squadron, 73 Squadron or 87 Squadron, to mention a few - though maybe it's considered that these have been a bit over-used in other scales, or maybe other sheets are planned by AIMS?)

VMA131Marine Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Looks like there will be a Sea Gladiator at some point. I see a separate fuselage insert where the hook would go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky210 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Contacted ICM to ask what scehmes are included had this response: Dear Richard, Thanks for your message and interest to our company. I`m glad you like our new released kit 32040 - Gloster Gladiator Mk.I, WWII British Fighter. The decal inside this kit includes 4 British variants. Hope this information will help you. So not a lot closer to knowing what schemes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, thanks, but not particularly inspiring are they?...Think I'll wait for the Pheon ones....Or I might even have a go at spraying on my own 72 or 73 squadron bands etc? Probably not too difficult in that scale. Serials shouldn't be a problem either... We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Also AIMS are bringing out two sets of decals, one silver, one camouflaged for the Gladiator/Sea Gladiator. Personally I'll be going for the ICM 'Foreign Users' decals Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yes, the Swedish and Finnish ones have interesting markings. Hopefully Pheon will upscale their 48th scale ones and I'll be a happy bunny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky210 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I am hoping Hannants will provide a nice variety of xtradecals for the various versions By the time I build mine, I expect there will be a good range of aftermarket available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Just to go with my pre ordered Gladiator I looked for some reference as I only have one book on the Gladiator, the one that I wanted was the Guideline Publications Warpaint 37, a quick look on eBay and Amazon found me ordering one direct from Guideline Publications as it was cheaper.

Even the early machines were fitted with underwing guns on the lower wing. Apparently there were discussions around fitting .303’s under the upper wing surfaces too.

True, I've never seen a photo of a production Gladiator which provably has no underwing gondolas. I've seen plenty where you can't see the gondolas because it's an upper view, and where no gun barrels are evident, but it was common to fly Gladiators with the guns removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
