An excellent kit, another winner from ICM. It has challenges but only those that you would naturally associate with biplanes.

I did have some issues along the way but it was all down to me not ICM but, that said, the u/c is weak and a set of metal a/m legs is recommended.

I am a little disappointed in one thing, the gun sight dislodged after the windscreen was fitted so I had to use c.a. to glue it back from a very awkward angle. Superglue and transparencies don’t mix and while no c.a. touched the transparency the fumes clouded it. Well, it is a Navy aircraft so you can expect some salt crusting, I just did not intend it in the transparency. So, added realism.....

the pictures.

Stunning result Barry. The Gladiator looks good in the FAA scheme.
