peter havriluk Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'm about to apply finish to a 1/72 Gladiator and I ain't sure about the kit's painting suggestions (Airfix). As Airfix has it, uppersurfaces are dark green/dark earth, undersides are aluminum under the empennage and upper wing, lower wing and fuselage are black/white. I've seen drawings where the undersurfaces are 'sky' instead of black/white/silver. Seems ambiguous. Anybody have suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seawinder Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Both are probably correct depending on the specific time of the year being depicted. Spitfires went through the same progression. The white/black/silver scheme is probably valid for 1939 through early spring 1940. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter havriluk Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Thanks very much. I'm cheating on timescale; the 'sky' version cheats less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peter havriluk Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Another thanks! Looks like the camouflage upper/aluminum lower is possible, too. Choices, choices! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
