Kristy picked this option and may I say, what a superb choice. Love the blue and fuselage markings. Went together without any problems. Enjoyed this build.

  1. 87 Squadron markings always look good and that's an extremely impressive rendition of one of their Gladiators.

  2. Very nice Gladiator Paul, I like your rigging, what did you use?

    • Thank you. It's a mixture of evergreen strips which I saw in an article by Tom Cleaver, and ez line. Then, all of it air was brushed silver. I wasn't sure if you could paint ez line but it turns out you can. LOL.
