About product

The Gloster Gladiator Mk.I and Mk.II over Norway

A kit from the manufacturer Mark I in 1:144 scale, devoted to the last British fighter biplane and its commitment over Norway. The designation in the name covers both main production versions.

The last British fighter biplane

The Gladiator came into service at a time when all-metal monoplanes were already making their way, and yet it found a place for itself thanks to its agility and reliability. It had an enclosed cockpit, a Bristol Mercury radial engine and, against older types, markedly heavier armament. In the spring of 1940 it was fought with over snow-covered Norway, where the crews took off from hastily prepared strips, including a frozen lake.

A biplane in a small scale

The main task is the exact seating of the upper wing. Fit the struts one after another and let them cure in a clamp or in a simple support of wire, so that the wing stays parallel with the lower one. Rigging wires can be suggested with a thin filament tensioned by heat. Apply a winter scheme in patches and let the base shade show through, otherwise the surface looks flat.

Who the kit is for

  • Admirers of biplanes and of the transition period
  • Anyone interested in the fighting in Scandinavia in 1940
  • Modelers who want to try tensioning rigging
  • Collectors of British interwar aircraft

The customer gets unassembled parts without paint. The aids for gluing and spraying are obtained separately, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was the last British fighter biplane; after it came all-metal monoplanes such as the Hurricane and the Spitfire.

They are the two main production versions of the type. Both are mentioned in the name, but the exact contents of the box are not stated here.

At this scale a fine filament is enough, tensioned by bringing a source of heat carefully near it. It pays to practice on an offcut first.

Only the seating of the upper wing is more demanding. With a simple support of wire even a less experienced builder will manage it.
