John,
In theory (according to Putnams book on Gloster), all Mk II were supposed to have 3 blade props, though I suspect not all did. Certainly the Sea Glads were supposed to, and they also had a ventral dinghy pack, which I guess is the oval thing between the legs on your view above? According to the pic in the book it stuck down as a bulge. 378 Mk I, 98 Sea Glad and 270 MkII produced though quite a few were exported.
Looks good so far.
Pete

I'm feeling well enough to finish off the Gladiator, but I've hit a rather annoying snag with two exhaust pipes. This screen shot shows the problem: The Green part renders correctly, but the Blue section flickers. The reason is I've run out completely of Elements in the main F model, so I added the exhausts to the C model, which has loads of free Elements, but the Blue section is out of line, where the RS joint is, so the Blue section flickers badly. Without a load of free Elements [18 in total], it's proved to be a real headache to fix, so I'm going to delete the Blue section of the pipes, so I can finish off the model. I've had an Early War skin today from Mike, so Mike's on the ball, and I'm lagging behind.
