Gloster Gauntlet II

[mozart]

I can't think of a kit that has given me more satisfaction than Silver Wings Gauntlet:

 

 

Build thread and lots of lovely period photos:

 

My thanks to all those who helped me along the way, it certainly wasn't a straightforward build and it had its "moments" but the end result is satisfying.

The first pic I saw caught me out , I assumed that was the inspiration shot for the model ...some museums restoration . The subtle toning and the overall precision is what does it for me . Bravo !
