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.

Just a silly question.
Does anyone want a Ski version? No Gunpods version? 3 Prop Blade version? Any other versions?

Comgratulations mate. This is one of the best planes I've ever seen for EAW.

The TRA links to the tex.pcx for the prop, greenhouse, etc. The MRA links to the distance models in standard model layout. When a PRA is used it only links to the first skin (psp09pex.pcx), it doesn't link up to skins 01 and above as pex.pcx. They come out blank when trying to use Psp0901pra.pcx to point to Psp0901px.pcx. You need to change the names of the files to Psp01mra.pcx and Psp01mx.pcx to work. Or so it appears to me.
Go figure.
