Eduard / Roden 1/48 Gloster Gladiator, Latvian AF.

[Buzby061]

This is the Eduard re-pop of Roden's 1/48 Gloster Gladiator. It comes with some nice PE but is still a Roden kit at the end of the day. I used AIMS resin collector ring to replace the kit's 3 part offering, made things a lot easier. My first attempt at rigging - no problem with that but I was glad to see the back of the kit. Brush painted & with no weathering as I didn't want anything else to ping off. It certainly won't have pride of place in my collection.

 

Any comments, criticisms & observations welcome.

Lovely job.

Nice rigging - what did you use? And the prop looks very convincing.

Very good looking Gladiator , nice to see it in very different colour scheme, great work !

As a previous co-respondent has already stated, Great to see the Gladiator in a different colour scheme. I have a particular interest in this one since I am currently researching military aviation in the three Baltic States as part of my personal development for my next job.

 

Well Done, Sir !. Nice job

Thanks Bob.
 

Rigging was nylon monofilament a friend gave me. The prop was painted with Tamiya Deck Tan, when dry it was overpainted with Dark Umber oil paint & streaked. After a couple of days I airbrushed a thin coat of Tamiya transparent orange. 
 

Cheers,
