Gloster Gladiator Mk.I/II In Foreign Service #2 (D3205)

1:32 ICM via Hannants

 

 

There is now new tool Gladiator I &II kits from ICM. This kits come with decals for the RAF & Commonwealth Air Forces , however the Gladiator was exported to quite a few countries. The set arrives in a re-sealable foil bag stapled to a header card, with the decals covered by a sheet of translucent paper to keep moisture from damaging the carrier film.  There are four options on the sheet, the national insignia for Latvia & Finland being broken down for obvious reasons. 

 

From the sheet you can decal one of the following;

 

• Mark I Aircraft, Latvian Air Force 1938 (Olive Green over Aluminium)
• Mark I Aircraft, No.1 Sqn Irish Air Corps, 1940 (Darek Green/Dark Earth over Aluminium)
• Mark II Aircraft, 2/LeLv 16, Finnish Air Force 1942 (Black/Green over Blue)
• Mark II Aircraft, 1/LeLv 16, Finnish Air Force 1942 (Black/Green over Blue)

 

 

Additional scrap diagrams show the particular areas  On the back page the wings are covered with decal placement. 

 

Conclusion

A really nice set of decals that expand your options for this new kit.

 

Highly recommended.
