Its simple, I see Gloster, I click
Yeah, Im not too popular, for one reason or another. I really appreciate the support, though! @JettStorm
@GhostHTX Nope, I just noticed you had a lot of decent builds and I was surprised I haven't seen most of them. It earned you a follow as well
The pilot dummy is somewhat under scaled. Also, thanks for the upvotes! Did I win something? @JettStorm
Either that pilot is very small, or he's sitting in a massive plane XD I love it nonetheless
Many thanks! Always an appreciated compliment coming from you, old chap! @Treadmill103
Thanks matey! That was exactly my thoughts, too. A Gladiator monoplane. With a bit of FW-190 and Curtis-Wright CW-21 Demon thrown in. Glad you like it!
Im really keen to do a series of these, paralleling the development of the 30s/40s Hawker kites. Starting here, with something that looks like Camms original proposal to the air ministry request f.7/30 (that spawned the Spit and the Hurricane) and ending up with something like the Sea Fury. @Tang0five
Neat job as ever, nice to fly, roll is rather snappy! Very ‘gloster’ feel about it as does bare resemblance to a gladiator that’s lost its top wing. Tip top old bean!
Good timing old boy! Was just browsing my jet stream so to speak!
