Name: Gloster Sea Gladiator N5520 Faith
Type: Replica with detailed Paintjob
Attempt #: 3
Falkenwut Generation Build: 6
About 1 year since my 2nd attempt, here's my 3rd attempt at the Gloster Sea Gladiator, this time in the Maltese Hal-Far Fighter Flight N5520 nicknamed "Faith".
The real plane still is currently stationed in the Fort Saint Elmo National War Museum in Valletta, Malta.
Simple plane to fly, hard pitch turns makes the plane make sudden turns... Set MassScale to 0 on the cockpit to solve the issue.

I didn’t put the fourth because it was an older model that didn’t really fly with the others it was really the three known because they fought side by side
@Falkenwut oh ok thanks for reminding me I couldn’t remember
@recycledcake255 The 3 (originally 4) iconic planes that protected the airspace of Malta during WW2. They most famously helped defend the convoy "Santa Maria" with food supplies for our country during a time of severe famine.
Hope, faith and charity
I love the three that held off a Italian army? I can’t remember
Very nice
incredible mate
Nice representation of a legendary war bird, one of the first aircraft I recall making both here and as a plastic kit many years ago.
@AzureSamurai Thanks! Appreciate the input
@Kimfri . It is because of the centre of mass. It’s placed slightly excessive to the rear. It can be easily fixed by setting mass scale 0 for the cockpit
A bit unbalanced but fun
Cool build! nicely shaped, handles well very responsive. As for the sudden roll when pitching hard im not totally sure what's causing it, but I'd try re-mirroring maybe?
