stevehnz Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 That is stunning, beyond any of the superlatives I could conjure up. I'm impressed to pieces. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Lovely model Gauntlet! Great distinction in painting to simulate between metal and fabric Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 That’s absolutely amazing! It looks real. Your WIP of this actually inspired me to buy three biplanes from this era, albeit in 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 -Magnifique réalisation. Wonderfully done, you have there a winner for the next Telford SMW. Words of a former judge at the competition. Your sepia photo, I could swear it is vintage....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Steve, thanks a very generous comment and much appreciated. 6 hours ago, Epeeman said: Lovely model Gauntlet! Great distinction in painting to simulate between metal and fabric Regards Dave I love the 1930s RAF fighters because they look so dashing with their polished fairings etc, so I was intrigued about why some Gauntlets had matt finishes. Apparently the Air Ministry started to discourage the polished look and later Gauntlets came from the factory with anodised panels. This is what I tried to simulate. Study of period photos also showed the engine cowling to be a different finish too! All rather complicated! 5 hours ago, Lord Riot said: That’s absolutely amazing! It looks real.

Well that's great news your Lordship.....Patrik has a lovely Gauntlet build going on in that scale as I think you know. Good luck (too small for my old eyes!). 14 minutes ago, IPMS19 said: -Magnifique réalisation. Wonderfully done, you have there a winner for the next Telford SMW.

You're very kind JM but there are faults with it that a judge would immediately pick up and quite honestly model competitions don't appeal to me. It's sitting happily in my study, that's good enough for me! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 She is a stunner! I'm a bit late to the party, so I have problems finding unsused superlatives, but she just… looks real. Full size Old Warden restoration or large scale R/C control model? Most impressive work. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Stunning build. I really did think it was one of the line up for a display at the Shuttleworth collection, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winded Penguin Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Crikey, 1/32 scale suits this subject. The photography and finished result is quite spectacular 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
