Browsing through the box shows nicely detailed plastic, which is broken down into not too many parts. Compared to my recent IBG PZL. 11 build, that will be a fast build, I guess. There is less detail and no PE included. Unfortunately there are no seat belts supplied either, so I will have to raid other kits, maybe my Tamiya Mosquito, where I have bought some HGW spare belts. I somehow like these interwar designs and the Gladiator will be an easy build, beside from flat wire rigging. I will build her in a silver dope finish, which looks better than the spinach and barf camo. Cheers Rob Nice one, after following Stews builds over on Britmodeller I have both the Gladiator and Sea Gladiator in the stash, there is so much early war history around the subject https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235088706-icm-132-gloster-gladiator-belgian-air-force-and-gloster-sea-gladiator-hal-far-fighter-flight-malta/ Cheers Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine will be strictly MK.I, as I will go for a silver dope finish and like the wooden IP. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I have quick release fittings on all my air brushes as it makes life so much easier and switching from air brush to air brush is a snap. My collection of AB includse and when I purchased each AB, I also purchased the dedicated quick release. Highly recommended.: Two H&S Infinity CR Plus AB's An Iwata Eclipse and Revolution Grex XGi With the quick disconnects, I can switch between air brushes as needed, especially when I'm lazy and don't feel like cleaning them out between different paint mediums during painting sessions. Keep 'em comin Peter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This came today; another Takom wiesel in 1/16 scale. This is the cannon version. I also have the TOW version. I found a good website for reference pictures of these Little beasties. http://www.primeportal.net/apc/dieter_krause/wiesel_1_mk/index.php?Page=1 https://www.primeportal.net/apc/dieter_krause/wiesel_1_tow/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em comin Peter. Yes, I agree these quick-release connectors make airbrushing much more convenient. I have two hoses on my compressor with one quick release for my (4) Iwata eclipses and Iwata hi performance plus c and the other for my Paasche H airbrushes. I recently ordered another Iwata, a Hi-Line HP-BH, but because of the current problems with the supply chain, I was told by Iwata that it might take months to arrive. Jeez the world Is in a mess! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) The ED-209 is a great kit. Way better than the old Horizon Hobbies vinyl thingy. I'm still trying to figure old what greys to use before I build it. Carl Edited October 13, 2021 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 240z is attractive too. I had the Horizon kit, Carl mentioned and it was not great detail wise and being a bit on the delicate side with the vinyl pars. I definitely prefer vinyl on my turntables. Please do a WIP of the ED-209. Cheers Rob 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Thanks to that cheeky marine I picked up this , apparently it’s another one of Trumpeter’s good-enough kits, but the only one available at the moment . Nothing that can’t be fixed by a ton of resin putty and some steel plates and lots of positive attitude 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
