Ed Russell Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Gloster Gladiators were used by 3 Squadron RAAF in the advance against the Italian army between November 1940 and February 1941. There are a few pictures around - one commonly photographed Gladiator was N5752 but there are pictures of a few including L9044, my build here. I have built a few of the Airfix Gladiators and it is a nice easy kit for a biplane. The only additions to the kit was the tropical air filter and the repositioned radio aerial. The decals are from the DK Decals 3 Sqn sheet - 72071 - and the shadow shaded paint scheme is a combination of Coloucoats and Modelmaster enamels. I did the AZ Gloster Gauntlet at the same time and the difference in buildability between the two kits is remarkable. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Nice, and interesting colour scheme too. I haven't been brave enough to tackle a biplane yet, with all that rigging. So well done you! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
