Conclusion
To sum up – very nice. There’s no doubt the finished model looks like a Gladiator to me and yet provides modelling challenges – mostly welcome. If you include the Eduard etched metal detail set, the kit moves up into a whole new class. Thoroughly recommended.
Don’t forget that Airfix is due to release their all new-tool 1:72 model as I write these words (May 2013) so keep an eye out for that one!
