The ICM Gloster Gladiator "landed" on my work bench this morning, so work starts this afternoon! A few shots for starters of sprues, sample instructions and thoughts: Sprues: The detail on all the mouldings is very crisp and well defined. There's no attempt to portray a fabric effect, but this is often overdone when it's been tried previously. Drilling points for rigging are not given other than small raised squares by the struts.
