kkarlsen Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Sorry about that! Let's get back to the matter at hand... For many years this photo has been one of my favorite subjects for a diorama: Fiat CR. 42 on it's nose with crew from the Australian Photographic Unit... (Libya 1940'ish) I have seriously been thinking about doing this with the Silver WIngs kit. But I must admit the price of the kit quickly stopped me. Now there seems to be nothing to stop me from doing this after all... Cheers: Kent JefH, Tnarg, mozart and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I was wondering, is there a connection between Silver Wings and ICM or is this (Gladiator/Fiat CR. 42) purely coincidental? Kent LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent I think it's a case of ICM being rather clever Kent, as we've said previously ICM are cashing in with IM plastic where SW have blazed the way with resin....not everybody likes modelling with resin. esarmstrong and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 My ‘Belgian Edition’ ICM Gladiator kit includes a Dutch Decal sheet for a Belgian Gladiator AND a Fiat CR42. Is it coincidence or is it time travel? monthebiff, Jan_G, reconspit and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Mongo confused, where do these decal sheets come from? Dutch decals set a new offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quang Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Rick, this Dutch Decal sheet is included with the ICM Gladiator kit destined to the Belgian market. As a matter of fact, the sheet was originally released in 2012 to be used with the Silver Wings 1/32 resin kits.

"More than 2,500 Fairey Barracuda aircraft were built during WW2; more than any other type ever ordered by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, however not a single complete example is known to remain in existence today." Some courageous people are trying to resurrect one: Fairey Barracuda Restoration... Would be great to have it in 1/32 scale too... Cheers: Kent ...man..., that would be awesome..., if this bird would show up, i‘d freak out totally.... kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
