Gloster Seagladiator
basic interior. at least there is a decal for the instruments....
added some seat belts
a bit of work to improve the engine....
some thin wire can make it look nicer
first real rigging... room for improvement, no doubt. cannons changed from plastic to steel. a bit more durable 😛
cockpit in a piece of tape, masked and painted
last bit of rigging, in the tail
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.....
after some years, now a picture with the details that were added long ago (engine, with details, propeller....)
added those pipes in the engine long ago, but there was no picture
i saw a bigger scale gladiator with that tiny thing for the pilot to climb, and i had to replicate it. picture is not clear....
kit is missing a pitot tube, so it had to be replicated.
size comparison
added and half pained. it looks good. i painted some detail in black later
cut a black decal in pieces, to replicate those holes
same in the gun covers
home made to add some details ("lift here" and others)
and the kit decals (roundels and numbers)
home made does not look bad for this scale. add some nice touch, i would say
just missing a couple of details, to be done in the weekend, i hope
just added some decal solution to get the big blue ones to adhere better
and finally, finished

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

Spanjaardthanks 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

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?

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

Spanjaardthanks 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

DickWow.. in 1:144 scale this is amazing!
I'm still hesitating to add wiring on my 1:72 Tiger Moth, and you do this in 1:144.. My compliments!

SpanjaardThanks a lot Dick. Easier that you think. Certainly much easier that your Mriya 😉

Album info
One more of the ones in my "flying circus" project. it is being some fun so far. simple cockpit, but some nice details added outside...
