Out2gtcha Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I was searching SB.com and looking for the new ICM Gloster Gladiator, to no avail. I decided to shoot off an email to SprueBros to see if they were going to get the kit in any time soon. I (literally) got a two word answer back "Very soon" Yay!!

quang Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Looking forward to seeing you joining the fray, Brian. The more the merrier! mozart and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 I'll definitely be using your (cockpit contrast with the grey-green and silver is lovely) and Max's builds as guides for sure. I've got my scheme all picked out, just need to acquire the correct colors. Might be a minute or two before I start, as the ZM Nick will have me tied up for awhile I'm afraid. Might be right after that though! It will give you and Max time to get your trailblazing builds done so I can follow in your footsteps. . mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaffyMan Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Hi Brian - knew this one would be popular with folks - got mine on back order with Hannants and don’t know when they are getting their next batch but fingers crossed not to long. What scheme are you going with - me I was thinking a British desert ….. but the more I see the pre-war silver schemes the more I am wavering. Oh what one to choose!

Out2gtcha Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Ey Taff! I'm going with a scheme from the earlier days.......the light earth/light green with dark earth/dark green shadow scheme with Sky on the undersides. TaffyMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I’m sorry, but I think that a US MSRP of $92 for a small single seat biplane is ridiculous. I know people are going to bring up Wingnut Wings, but while ICM is very good, I don’t think they are WW quality. It’s half the price of a Tamiya Mustang. I’m not blaming Sprue Brothers because they don’t set the MSRP, but I think I’m priced out of this kit unless I get a deal, of get it from overseas.

Yeah, I know what the SB price is. I still think that much money for a 1/32 biplane fighter is too much, especially when armor kits with 3-4 times as many parts from companies like Miniart, Takom, and Rye Field Model are the same price.

Troy Molitor Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I picked up the recent ICM I-153, and a couple I-16’s in Singapore for approximately $35-$40 USD. $73 USD seems a bit steep. Just my opinion. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I saw that offer on eBay. I was too excited to wait until February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaffyMan, How quickly do you need/want to lay your hands on one of these? I have a couple available at £35 excluding p&p. If you are in no panic/hurry and don’t want to add p&p I could drop one off to you in/ near Newcastle. I split my work between London and the North. When I am working in the North I work across the length and breadth of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham, & North Yorkshire with a head office in Durham. The only issue is that I won’t be back in the North until Mid March, hence the question. However, if you are willing to assuage your desire to rip into this beautiful kit I could easily drop one off to you at a mutually acceptable location in or near Newcastle. Just let me know what you would like to do. TaffyMan and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
