Smile first plane

hey guys.
Im going to start my first plane.
I found a nice gloster gladiator kit online and ive decided im going to make it.
Its going to be a challange being a bi-plane and only having normal thickness paper so yeah.....chances of a screw up are very very high.
Il post pics of progress soon
Cheers

Looking forward to your build, Liam...screw-ups are only lessons looking for a place to be learned...we all make them and become better modellers in the process...

Is it the Stahlhart Gladiator? If so I did the Sea Gladiator and it was a fun build.

Stahlhart Gloster Sea Gladiator

If you can't get card stock to print on consider laminating 2 or 3 pages together to get something thicker. i don't think you will have much success with just regular weight copy paper with this model.

Good luck and ask questions when needed. It's a little ambitious for a 1st kit but entirely doable.
