HisNibs204 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Look who's back, back again, Belgium's back, back in a Gloster Gladiator apparently. Following my love of the Hawker Hurricane and fully aware that the Hurricane is basically a Gladiator without the top wing, decided that this should be my next kit to butch. Not only did this kit inspire me to order putty, which didn't get used and instead I carefully manipulated paint into the crevasses like a married couple seeking to keep the spark alive, thought I didn't do too bad on this. I will admit that I gave up on trying to figure out how to rig it and by that, I mean I ordered a kit from WW1 to trial rigging on. This was brush painted with Tamiya paints because like the above married couple, I too enjoy pain. Wasn't too bad but definitely some colour match issues. Oh well. At least the robot who is piloting it won't know which is probably a good thing based on how hard he hit that port-side gear. Don't fly a Tesla plane any time soon, folks, we know what'll happen. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Manipulating paint into crevasses failed to keep my marriage alive, I'm sad to say. Nice scheme, but you really need to fix that undercarriage! 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha! I am reminded of this, a less than perfect landing, during my flight training many years ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 And a Wellesley is just the Vickers G4/31 with only one wing. And a Halifax is only a Heyford with....hey, someone was going to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
