Incredible detail on the Ford... Must have taken a while!. I love the gladiator, such a cool airplane... Did you do the cameo by hand or any especial technique?

Hi there Dutycard,

sorry it's taken a while to reply; haven't looked at this thread in a while!
I started the Model-T in the summer of 2013, but then had to move house and start a new job, so all in all it took more than a year!

As for the cameo on the Gloster Gladiator, I tried using the white tack method but didn't like the effect (upper wing). The rest I just did by hand; much better!
