Out2gtcha Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Im no expert on the Gladiator but have always loved it. I know there is only 1 (soon to be forthcoming at the end of this very month) kit out there if it in 1/32. So my question is this: How much work would it take to turn this: Into this: Gloster Gladiator Mk. II 247 Squadron RAF Roborough, Devonshire, November 1940 OR this: Also RAF 247 sq markings from BoB I know the Silver Wings kit is the "Sea Gladiator" and does come with RAF decals for a Mk II version ,Mk II N 5519"G6A" - 802 Squadron, HMS Glorius, 1939, but I would LOVE to scratch up some custom decals for the 247 squadron that actually operated during the BoB in 1940. Also from a bit of research ive done the apparent differences according to Silver Wings's Wojtek Kulakowski are - Sea Gladiator had better engine (more power) - Difference would be NIL to me as I would not mess with the appearance of the provided resin engine. - different propellers - Scratch built prop? - Sea Gladiator had additional hook under the fuselage and a dinghy pack - Simple as removing or leaving these 2 things off? - different control panels - ????? Not worth changing if just a minimal difference in pit controls Sounds like all it may take is a scratching up a different prop, leaving the hook and dinghy pack off maybe? For those in the know about the Gladiator and/or the Battle of Britain GB any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
