Airfix have released recently a famous British biplane fighter in 1:72 scale. Here are few details found on the producer website about the kit.
Gloster Gladiator Mk.I
Scale: 1/72
Catalogue number: A02052
Number of parts: 54
Dimensions (mm): L118 x W137
New tool

Following the company website:

The Gloster Gladiator occupies an important place within the history of the RAF.  The last of the RAF’s biplane fighters, the Gladiator had some modern features, such as an enclosed cockpit, a first for an RAF fighter, as well as an armament of four machine guns. 
Still in service at the outbreak of the war, the Gladiator proved to be a capable biplane fighter, but was outclassed against modern monoplane opposition.  The mount of some the RAF’s most famous pilots, such as Pat Pattle and Roald Dahl, preserved Gladiators can still be seen flying today at Duxford and Old Warden air displays.


Painting options:
  • K7985 (L8032/G-AMrk) of the Shuttleworth Collection, Shuttleworth Aerodrome, England, 2012
  • No.1 Fighter Sqn, Aer Chor na heireann (Irish Air Corps) Baldonnel Aerodrome, Ireland, 1940
