About product

Exterior photo-etched parts for the Gloster Gladiator Mk.I/Mk.II in 1:72

A photo-etched set from the Hungarian maker SBS Model focused on the external detailing of a Gloster Gladiator model in both the Mk.I and Mk.II versions in 1:72 scale. Thin etched sheet allows fine surface features of the airframe to be rendered in thicknesses beyond the reach of injection-molded plastic, and so it visibly lifts the level of the finished model.

The real subject

The Gloster Gladiator was the last biplane fighter of the RAF. It entered service in the second half of the 1930s and, despite the arrival of monoplanes, won its place in history over Norway, Malta, Greece and North Africa, where a number of other air forces operated it.

Usage tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife on a hard surface and bend them with tweezers with smooth jaws, ideally with a bender. Glue with a small amount of super glue applied with a pin. Degrease the etch and prime it before painting so that the paint holds reliably on the edges too. Shape the larger parts to the curvature of the airframe before gluing, over a suitable cylindrical object such as a brush handle; fit the finest handles and eyelets only after the main painting, so that coats of paint do not drown them.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the Gladiator Mk.I or Mk.II in 1:72 scale.
  • Modelers who want to take the exterior of the biplane to competition level.
  • Enthusiasts of RAF aircraft of the turn of the 1930s and 1940s and of the other operators of the Gladiator.

This is an accessory set - the aircraft model is not included in the package.

FAQ

Yes, it is designed for the Mk.I and Mk.II versions alike; when building, follow the instructions and use the parts matching the version you have chosen.

A small amount of super glue (cyanoacrylate) applied with a pin or a toothpick; cement for polystyrene will not join metal.

A sharp knife, tweezers with smooth jaws and a fine file will do; a photo-etch bender makes the work noticeably easier.

No, it is an accessory set; the Gladiator model in 1:72 is obtained separately.
