1/32 Gloster Gladiator coming soon

[Silver Wings]

Hello,

I am pleased to inform about our forthcoming release of the 1/32 Gloster Sea Gladiator.

It is planned to be released in the end of August 2010.

Box will include:

- even better quality of the resin parts

- 3 marking options:

Sea Gladiator N 5519 "R" - Gladiator Flight Hal Far, Malta, June 1940

Sea Gladiator Mk II N 5519"G6A" - 802 Squadron, HMS Glorius, 1939

Sea Gladiator N 5524, No 261 Squadron, Luqa, Malta, January 1941

- 2 different propellers

- dinghy pack

- canopy (3 parts) made of a clear resin

- film

- PE parts

- iron reinforced: wings, landing gear, struts.

After that (in a close future) I will consider releasing a MKI and MKII versions including British and Finnish marking options (Finnish will have skies).

Price: unknown until the official release date.

cheers,

Wojtek Kulakowski

Hello Wojtek,

This is an interesting and often over-looked subject. Well done for offering a version of the Glad in this scale.

May I ask how the Sea Gladiator differs from the other versions?

Please keep us updated on the progress and any decision on price, thank you.

;)

Hi, there are few differences:

- Sea Gladiator had better engine (more power)

- different propellers

- Sea Gladiator had additional hook under the fuselage and a dinghy pack

- different control panels

This should be the most important differences...

Thank you for your explanation Wojtek, I appreciate the help.

It was fascinating to see the profiles above showing camouflaged airframes.

In my mind I have always seen a Gladiator as a silver aeroplane so those schemes are most enlightening.

I hope this proves to be a popular subject for you.

If you decide to do them, I would be interested in the RAF versions.
