Thanks, Tom. I tend to prefer a build log like you're doing to a video build. More detail on what's going on, more comments, and more chance to study the images. Good luck with the Lanc! Michael

I recently got this kit and am looking seriously at getting started. This build looks like a great one to follow. Any updates? Michael

Sometimes I just can't control myself! Michael

I don't know, the hook is a separate part. As long as they have the original under-fuselage section in the box too (and it looks like it is from sprue shots I saw elsewhere), I shouldn't think it would be too hard to work up. I may find out, as I've always liked those particular markings! Michael

I've ordered the Gladiator Mk.II (along with an IBG P.11C) from Hannant's and am eagerly awaiting their delivery. While I wait, I'm reading all these threads on the kits, which only makes my patience grow less! But in reading this one, I was suddenly struck with a thought. (Warning, thread hijacking ahead!) I'm afraid it's become increasingly clear that Wingnut Wings has breathed its last. I've seen some discussion elsewhere as to what will happen to their molds. Given the great success of ICM's 1/32 releases, it seems to me that they would be a pretty fine candidate to carry on WnW's legacy. What do you all think? Michael

Quang, I just finished reading this thread. I have a Mk.II on the way for Father's day here in the States and I wanted to let you know that I've bookmarked your build for when mine arrives. Excellent work indeed! And I hope the move went well. Michael

Peter, Very nice work! I noticed in your final display post you express some sadness that the kit is sold out. Well, in case you didn't know, WNW is re-releasing it as one of their special's with a figure of Raymond Collishaw and his markings! We should be seeing them soon and I hope to pick up another one myself! Michael

I'm no expert, but weren't the waist windows on the F smaller top to bottom than the G? Michael

Excellent work so far Eric! A question to everyone working on this one, especially if you're doing a bare metal finish: Are you feeling the need to sand the entire surface due to the texture or do you think (or have you found) that priming does the job? I plan to use a black base myself on a bare metal finish. Michael

Ugh. Sorry I asked. Keep up the good work! Michael

Eric, Very nice work indeed so far. I may have missed something, but how did you fix the fit of the nose/radome to the fuselage? It doesn't look like you just sanded the heck out of it, so what did you do? Thanks! Michael

Looks like no Israeli markings in this release. Michael

Shahak!!! Sign ME up for sure! I'm definitely on board for a classic '67 MiG killer Mirage, and maybe one or two more (depending on if/when the later Atar conversion becomes available). And given how long I've wanted a IIIC in 1/32 scale, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for now. Just hope it doesn't take years to materialize! Michael

Is anyone else concerned about the fact that the RAF markings have different colored roundels on the fuselage than on the wing? Michael

GROAN Don't quit your day job David Nice job on the pipes though Frank! Michael
