**** DONE: GB-57 1/72 Gloster Gladiator - WW2 Foreign Service

[Wurger]

First of all ... if you apply the decal markings on the matt, raugh surface none of the decal softeners can help correctly. The surface has to be smooth. So the only solution is to apply the gloss coat either of the colour or a clear one. In the way the surface can become finished and the softeners can work correctly.

With six weeks to kill before the next GB, do I build the other Gladiator?

I've a 1/48 scale Gladiator Mk.1 Eduard etched detail set for a Roden kit going bucksheesh if you want to up your size and have a bit of fun.

My hobby budget for March is spent.
I have another Matchbox Gladiator that I could crank out. The Norwegian markings would need to be painted on, but I might be able to find suitable numerals for the a/c fuselage number.

Very nice! Hard to believe it's not 1/48th scale

Yes. And search eBay for some decals. It wont break the bank and perhaps somebody here has some gathering the dust of oblivian and can sent it for free to you.. you never know.
