Silver Wings Gauntlet!

[mozart]

Wonderful!  Let's hope Brexit doesn't complicate getting one here asap!!  Just heard from Simon, with the discount the cost to the UK including shipping is 111 euros.  Mine's ordered!

 

By the looks of it only the three-bladed prop is supplied but I much prefer the looks of the two-bladed Watts propeller, so I think I’ll have to see what I can do about that.

Ouh, the Dark Earth/Middle Stone scheme is very tempting!

It’s 112 Squadron, Helwan Egypt in 1940 Joachim.

I’m a sucker for the 74 sqn tiger tail!

Mine of course will be 56 squadron, they only had them for 14 months but that’s long enough.

Aaaargghhh!

 

And I thought I would not get that one... Not really possible when I'm seeing such schemes.

 

I will not do the same mistake I did with the SW Bristol Bulldog (totally impossible to find for years).

[mozart]

Get it while you can Thierry!

What a cracker , beyond my skillset,but look forward to seeing some nice builds on here.

Danish with our own masks, I guess. Sounds good to me.

I've checked with Simon, they are only providing the three-blade Fairey-Reed prop.  I'm trying to source a two-blade Watts one like ICM's Gladiator I.  I was hoping I might be able to buy a single ICM sprue through ICM but it seems not.

The Gauntlet doesn't do anything for me personally, however I'm glad its HOT topic for others.  I also ordered the Yak-9 from Simon last week.  Can't wait to have one of these beauties in the stash.

Omg, and I thought I’d never need another bi-plane

The postman left a note saying there is a parcel for me at the delivery office with a very small amount to pay on it; note received at 11.30, office closed at 10.00!  I think it must be my Gauntlet, nothing else is outstanding to my knowledge but now I won’t know till Saturday!
