Airfix Gloster Gladiator - 1/72 02052
The Gloster Gladiator occupies an important place within the history of the RAF. The last of the RAF's biplane fighter, as well as an armament of four machine guns. Still in service at the outbreak of the war, the Gladiatior proved to be a capable biplane fighter, but was outclasses against modern monoplane opposition. The Gloster Gladiator was developed from the Gloster Gauntlet as a private venture, and represented both the peak and the end of biplane fighter. In many air arms it smoothed the transition to monoplane fighters. The mount of some of the RAF's most famous pilots, such as Pat Pattle and Roald Dahl, preserved Gladiators can still nbe seen flying today at Duxford and Old Warden air displays.
