1/32 Gloster Gladiator Mk.I, WWII British Fighter
ICM 1/32 Gloster Gladiator Mk.I is a plastic kit of the British biplane fighter. It contains 135 parts and four RAF marking options from 1938–1940. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Gloster Gladiator was the last British biplane fighter. In the late 1930s it served with the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the air arms of many other countries, and it fought in Norway, the Battle of Britain and the Mediterranean; according to the manufacturer, 746 were built in 1936–1938. The Mk.I had a Mercury IX engine driving a two-blade Watts propeller.
According to the manufacturer, the ICM kit in 1/32 scale has 135 parts; the model is 262 mm long with a 307 mm wingspan. The decals provide aircraft of No. 72 Squadron (Britain, 1938), No. 607 Squadron (Britain, August 1939), No. 112 Squadron (Egypt, 1940) and No. 80 Squadron (Amriya, Egypt, early 1940).
The large scale really pays off on a biplane with so many struts and rigging wires. Aircraft from pre-war Britain and from Egypt allow very different looks. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: Great Britain. Period: Interwar period, World War II.
