first real rigging... room for improvement, no doubt. cannons changed from plastic to steel. a bit more durable 😛

It can not be seen, but i forgot to paint the legs..... well, easy to solve. then it will ready for decals. future, and probably some postshading, if i have enough courage for it.....

home made to add some details ("lift here" and others)

and the kit decals (roundels and numbers)
31
February 11, 2022
home made does not look bad for this scale. add some nice touch, i would say
32
February 11, 2022
just missing a couple of details, to be done in the weekend, i hope
33
February 11, 2022

You Sneaky Spaniard!
1/144 huh? Inspired by Greg? She does look nice 👍

Spanjaard
thanks, actually the project "airgroup"was started about 6 months ago... there are a few more planes on it. some not yet started 🙁

Gordon Sørensen
And adding rigging in 1/144th? Very impressive, Spanjaard!

2 October 2018, 00:30

Spanjaard
Thanks Gordon 🙂

András Csilléry
The most impressive 1/144 I've ever seen indeed!

22 March 2022, 23:13

Spanjaard
thanks a lot András. cockpit is too basic. unfortunately only found out bout the detail set for it after i had it closed. well, i will add it to my next gladiator.
this one is waiting to be finished. just a bit of panel wash needed. but lack of time (and motivation) lately

Łukasz Gliński
Nice, looks better than my 72nd one 😄

23 March 2022, 12:54

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic work!...and that rigging is absolutely impressive.

23 March 2022, 18:49

Spanjaard
thanks a lot Łukasz, you are far too kind 🙂

23 March 2022, 20:41

Spanjaard
Thanks a lot Robert

Tom ...
I get a headache think about how small that is. Don't know how you guys do it. Really impressive!
Will it be part of a dio?

23 March 2022, 22:05

Spanjaard
not exactly a dio.... it is a special project 🙂

24 March 2022, 11:16

Michael Kohl
I am impressed too

24 March 2022, 12:55

David R. Meizoso
It is indeed a really special project, with 38+ elements involved... Great work in 1/144! Following your upcoming "acrobats"!

24 March 2022, 13:48

Nathan Dempsey
Cool! Nicely done.

24 March 2022, 13:54

Spanjaard
thanks Michael, David and Nathan
well, not all 38 will be use in the flying circus. only one of each kind will. The second Spitfire or the second (3rd, 4th....) Me-262 are in smaller projects. Some maybe small dios, like the Me-109 that will get open engine covers, etc.

Spanjaard
Added a panel wash today, and made the final pictures. Seagladiator is finished now 🙂

29 March 2022, 22:18

Martin Oostrom
Time for celebrating! You finished a kit for the first time in five years! 👍
Now the juices are flowing again, let's get cracking!

30 March 2022, 06:00

Spanjaard
thanks Martin, let's get cracking indeed!
well, actually you are forgetting my little VW project, so technically, it is the second finished 😉

30 March 2022, 09:57

David R. Meizoso
Great!

30 March 2022, 11:21

Spanjaard
thanks David

Alec K
Spanjaard finished a project!! Woohoo 👍

30 March 2022, 18:32

Spanjaard
Thanks Alec K, this model is completed, but quite a few items pending in the project 😄

30 March 2022, 18:48

Lochsa River
amazing. ...

30 March 2022, 19:12

Martin Oostrom
Technically, the VW was a repaint/upgrade of a 1:43 toy car.... 😉

30 March 2022, 19:18

Spanjaard
I have to agree with you. Some upgrades and paint job but not a model that I "fully" built 🙂 unlike this Seagladiator

Lode Schildermans
Very impressive, Spanjaard. I saw the photos on your phone past saturday, but looking on a big screen, it is even more impressive. Fantasticly done
