A Phantom revisited

1/32 ICM Gloster Gladiator Mk.1 (32040)

ICM 1/72 Polikarpov U-2/PO-2VS

A little kit with lots of tiny parts. I seem to have a problem with ICM plastic as I had to replace a few parts with brass tube and sprue. I find it very soft. Probably operator error though. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with [...]
