BRAND NEW Airfix 1/72 Gloster Gladiator Mk.I medium starter set. 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 of the RAFs 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. Gloster Gladiator MkI 80 Squadron, RAF Amriya, Egypt, early 1940. Airfix starter sets are ideal for beginners. Medium starter sets are a little more challenging to build than the small starter set range, with more parts.
