Reini78 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 #5/2019 And my dad finished another one. Initially he wanted to build a shiny pre-war RAF bird, but due to some (self-inflicted) setbacks it became a green Chinese one in the end. Merit (Trumpeter) kit, Fine Molds seatbelts, rigging with elastic thread. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235045936-second-sino-japanese-war148-gloster-gladiator-mki/& In October 1937 the Chinese ordered 36 Gladiator Mk.Is which then were used in the war against Japan. At the end of August 1938 most of the Gladiators had been lost or were unserviceable due to combat damage.

Doccur Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looks fantastic! Nice to see one of these in a different scheme than RAF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nicely done. I've got the Eduard re-pop of the Roden kit on the go, the plan is to do it in a Latvian scheme. Building it is proving to be character building. 😞 Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roginoz Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Very nice Gladiator. I especially like the way the collector ring colour varies with the angle and light - your dad got that spot on, imho. Rog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
