Out2gtcha Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Im looking forward to an IM 32nd Gladdie for sure. I've the the SW kit, but its resin, and as nice as it is, I think and IM kit would be very nice and a quicker build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If this kit is on par with their I-16 (recently reviewed) then it will be a stellar kit. I fully expect very tight molding, good detail OOB and a nice decal selection. This kit, as the I-16 is a great platform for the detail minded, and a good OOB builder.

Erwin Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 On 1/16/2019 at 5:35 PM, Tnarg said: Aviation Megastore lists quite a few 1/32 Gladiator decals. They have one Belgian sheet shared with the CR.42 from Dutch Decal, plus Kora sheets of Gladiators from Latvia, Lithuania, China, Soviet, Luftwaffe and another Belgian sheet. If the kit doesn't have enough options, these should help.

dennismcc Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Ever so tempted by this, with it's history and good looks I think I should buy and build one, it's just the rigging that as usual puts me off. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 ICM will be receiving bunches of money from me this year! At least 6 kits are now on my 2019 wish list. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis I wish a manufacturer would pick up the OOP "STRUTZ" streamlined wire for rigging. I am looking at my last set containing a few that will work nicely on the Gladiator.

LSP_Mike Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Dennis, give it a whirl. Start from the inside out, and be patient. The boxart is steller as well. Reminds me of the old Tamiya stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link rods between the ailerons might be cylindrical, but all the structural rigging will be of the flattened type... MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) One Silver Wings Sea Gladiator sold yesterday on eBay for £103.00, another has come on today with a starting price of £100.00, any link with the pending ICM kit on the sellers' behalf d'you think??!

gingerbob Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If I can get past my inertia, my Sea Glad should follow soon! And when Squadron has ICM kits marked down... Wunwinglow, aileron ones are streamline too- you can see where they return to cylindrical before meeting the "turnbuckle" (I think there's a different name, but I'm not thinking of it). wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes, gingerbob, I think you might be right. Sometimes on larger machines with ailerons on both wings the link is a tube, designed to push and pull, whereas the flying and landing wires are all designed to work under (considerable) tension.....
