    Will eventually release CR42s and Glads for SF2, suitable for baffmeister's BoB mod. Sample shot below.

  5. Storm Over The Sahara

    Have made enough progress with the Gladiator to sorta/kinda show what the 1940 desert mod will eventually look like. Map is Stephen1918's Palestine map with hi-res textures. The first six months of WW2 in the desert had as much in common with 1918 as 1940. Operations quickly ramped up to massive dogfights at VERY low altitude, sometimes below 1000 feet.

  11. Gladiator

    Gladiator camo patterns varied more than "normal" for RAF aircraft, and I think I've figured out why. The Gladiator entered production before the Munich Crisis of 1938, which is when the RAF introduced dark earth/dark green camo, so most Gladiators were completed in over-all silver dope. Consequently, most Gladiator camo was applied in depot or in the field - this would explain why there was so much variation in the camo patterns. To make matters worse, the RAF introduced 4-color camo (for biplanes) just before the shooting started - this resulted in even more variation. So, the Mk 1 will have the initial 2-color pattern, and the Mk 2 will have the later 4-color pattern. Photos show both patterns used wherever the Gladiator was deployed - Britain, France, Norway, Egypt, Sudan, etc. EDIT: Per the Mushroom pub on the Gladiator (thanks Wrench!) many of the Gladiators sent to Norway had dark earth on the upper wings over-painted with medium gray, and sometimes dark earth on the lower wings was over-painted with sky gray.

  24. What do we need?

    I'm way too busy to make the SPAD 2-seaters, but I have excellent drawings for the SPAD16 if someone else wants to make the model. Lemme know and I'll send you the stuff.
