More superb models Rick: all are first class winners!

Try smuggling some models in with the groceries and tell your wife that they must have fallen from the shelf as you passed by...!

Thank Dave! I did make one change to the Stuka after the photo. I had lost the leading edge wing light clear part. The photo shows white glue filled in. I didn't like the results so tried something else. The clear plastic provided to cover and protect pointed paint brushes works great when cut to size.

Thanks Stephen. Funny thing here. In the late 80's and early 90's I worked at a Hobby Shop. I used to take an Empty Model Box, ie. a Monogram B-17, to work with Me. My reason being to show the guys

When I came home it May have been a bit more full

This is the Airfix Gladiator when almost finished. Just realized I haven't taken/ saved any of the completed version:

That's a lovely little Gladiator. You BoB project is growing quickly and the models are beautiful. I saw a fantastic program on YouTube all about September 15th 1940 today. I think you would enjoy it if you haven't seen it already.

I think the Gladiator was the best looking of all the late biplanes - graceful and balanced. You have really captured the look with that model - and the camouflage looks just right to my eyes. (At last an aeroplane with some rigging too!)

Thanks Richie for commenting! I will check out the link at a time when the Wife doesn't have me involved with painting 1/1 scale doors

Thanks Stephen. Yeah, a biplane was nice to work on even if a bit fiddly in 1/72nd

and one more of the Gladiator: I plan to re-do the antenna wire....someday!

That’s a pretty Gladiator, Rick. I wasn’t aware yet that it is also a BoB plane.

Thanks Andreas! Yes there were a couple of Squadrons still equipped with the Gladiator during the BoB. They didn't play a significant role but were around. I might do a Sea Gladiator someday also. One of those from Coastal Command actually shot down a German Bomber as late as November 1940.
