Album info

Only after putting this WIP album together (it was done few months after the project was finished) did I realize how many problems/blunders I had made. So, to call it a "relaxing build" would not be accurate. But, it is the most ambitious build for me so far and I did learn a lot.

Regarding references: the one book I wish I had when I started is the Kagero Monograph No.65 "Gloster Gladiator Mk I and II And Sea Gladiator". It has excellent detail renderings of the interior structures, a key item to have when trying something like this. For the modeler, it's probably the best source out there today.
