I'm afraid that the Gladiator has never really appealed to me, and I only built it as a stablemate for my earlier Hurricane

No real issues with the Airfix kit and it proved to be a nice distraction while working on bigger projects

VAnd extra kudos for not painting the collector ring in coffe pot copper colour! 😉

 

....knowing my success with metallic colours, that's just the type of thing I would have done if I'd been able to find the copper paint! (Still getting bullied hammered about the colour of the exhausts on my Su-57 :banghead:)

Well tidy pair of models and not a cheat line in sight,🤣

 

What a nice surprise to hear from you !

 

Cheatline job on it's way, but only because you ask so nicely 😜 (Should be landing early spring at the latest)

Sad to hear your not building at the moment, let's hope that'll change when this nonsense is all behind us....
