That will be accompanied by Yahu Models YMA7204 1/72 PE Gloster Gladiator Mk.II instrument panel Airfix and finally and probability they most silly and frustrating part of the build for someone just back into the hobby after learning to airbrush is mig ammo Rigging - Super Fine for 1/48, 1/72 scales (Width: 0.01mm) yes I'm going to try and rig the plane .
