mozart 8,094 Posted January 16 (edited) The dampers are just sitting there Brian, I guess they should be "clamped" onto the bracing but too difficult at this scale. Anyhow, apart from the aerial and a little bit of tidying up...........she's finished!! A few rough and ready pictures but RFI in a few days time. I was looking at my Bulldog last night..........daunting! Edited January 16 by mozart 22 2 Uncarina, LSP_Kevin, MikeC and 21 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dennismcc 4,020 Posted January 16 Absolutely beautiful job Max, how did you manage to fill and paint the holes where the rigging went through the wings with the paintwork already completed, or did I miss that bit, I certainly cannot see any blemishes. Cheers Dennis 2 mozart and MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozart 8,094 Posted January 16 Two methods Dennis; firstly I drilled the holes to slightly larger than the size of the micro tube so that it fitted quite snugly and secondly I carefully placed a precise amount of CA into the hole to hold the tube. They are not perfect by any means, I will be doing a little tidying up but it’s not too bad. 2 MARU5137 and dennismcc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer 1,258 Posted January 16 Cracking job on your Gladbag Max. She's very inspirational. I like the second image with the pilot looking straight into the camera. He's a very well painted figure. Good job. Cheers. 1 mozart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARU5137 14,309 Posted January 16 Max, EXQUISITE and most accomplished build I have seen . INSPIRATIONAL build indeed ! your Gloster Gladiator is STUNNING. Your detailing and painting and figure work is EXCEPTIONAL. your pilot looks ready to be given orders and take off.. KUDOS .... (the lads have raised a A glass or two of Whiskey in your honor). 2 mozart and Uncarina reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
