Well once again, something else took my fancy. I bought these two from Malcolm, so in keeping with the club ethos, they were cheap.
They are the Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator Mk1 kits. They were built straight from the box.
One finished as that at The Shuttleworth Collection has stretched sprue rigging, the other, finished as a Gloster J-8A has fine wire rigging.
Nice little kits.
My excuse, well at least they are biplanes!
