Title: 1/72 Airfix Gloster Gladiator MKII
Post by: DaveB on April 07, 2021, 01:41:31 AM
Dear all,

Just finished earlier today - the small scale Airfix Gladiator.   Mostly built OOB with a few minor detailing work here and there.

I hope I have not posted too many pics?

    Very VERY nice Dave, looks like a larger scale given the superb detaling of the finish and rigging. BTW, never too many pictures!
Cheers,
Lance

Hello Dave,

I’m making this kit (same colour scheme!) as I speak..  ;) super good fun build. Nice result.

That is a superb Gladiator Dave and expertly finished. I love the colour scheme which incidentally is the scheme I'm using for my in-progress Inpact/Pyro 1/48 Gladiator right now.

Great work there!

Excellent job Dave !

I don't see many camo schemes for this kite and she sure does look good dressed in camo ! :)

Thank you all very kindly -

Dave/Guy - well there's coincidence for you! - look forward to seeing both of your takes on this one in that case!

Alexis - brush painting this marking scheme was the most time consuming part of the build - I was relieved when the painting was over.

Regards

Dave

These new 1/72 Airfix kits are terrific!! They have revived the (relatively) inexpensive model that produces an enjoyable build and result. Nice work!!

Having seen this I can assure you Dave that there are not too many photos here - they all do the model justice. The only problem is that there are no close ups  showing the tiny extra detaisl that take this form being a very good model to a prize winner.
