The "Gloster Gladiator" @ 1:60

A little smaller than I'm use to. I wasted about 2 days trying to make a clear canopy. After 3 trys I gave up. http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_sad.gif

I left off some detail, gun pods, exhaust pipes, etc., http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif and the rigging http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I replaced the wheels with buttons. I couldn't roll the wing struts to my likeing so I replaced them with small wooden dowels.
Well it looks like the Gloster Gladiator, I Guess http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif

Bob - nice build a a pretty aircraft.

I use toothpicks for struts as well. They increase the models playability with my seven year old

I compared yours with real planes picture. Yes, yours looks nothing but the Gloster Gladiator. Congratulations on your nice build!
