Andy Dyck Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Absolute stunning. Perfect in all points. May I ask what did you use for rigging for the wings . It looks like profiles exact like the original. I am looking for this material since years. best regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aims Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Andy my company is AIMS - the bracing wires are one of my products - please look - http://www.aimsmodels.co.uk/Photo-Etch/1-48/1-48.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Really nice, the silver colour is really apparent in the last photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aims Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yes the Mr Paint is great, goes on well and has no sparkle to it so looks like perfect scale silver paint. It is touch dry in an hour and requires no thinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Absolutely beautiful Gladiator. Stunning build, finish and presentation! Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
