1/48 Roden Gloster Sea Gladiator

  I used E Z Line for all the rigging, and made it silver with a silver marker pen.  I replaced the plastic antenna masts with steel.  I would have rather gotten a
bit flatter finish but it's not bad.  A real modeler would mess with it a bit more but I'm happy with it.  The kit decals are hit and miss, I had to make the fin
flashes and the R's with the ALPS because the kit markings broke into little bits, but the rest of the markings worked fine with big doses of Micro
Sol.  If I do another Roden Gladiator I would fit the firewall to the fuselage, glue it temporarily with white glue and trim it to conform to the
shape of the fuselage, then remove it to get all the engine/cowl/exhaust pipe alignments done.
