mozart Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Lovely-jubbly! The ICM Gladiator is one of the finest kits that I’ve built, it goes together so well and looks “right”. You’ve made an excellent start with the cockpit, keep it going! PS The rigging is very straightforward. nmayhew and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padubon Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 I managed to finish the engine. I was forced to modify the shaft that secures the propeller because the kit’s one is on a cone shape and it does not secure the prop well. I used plastic tubing and I think is going to work well.

Cheers Dennis I started with dark aluminum evenly sprayed. Next steel sprayed blotchy followed by jet engine metal color. At this point I applied a heavy thined red and blue in blotches to simulate heated metal. I finished with exhaust manifold on edges. dennismcc and SinuheH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
