Trumpeter 64803 - 1/48 Gloster Gladiator MK1: Detailed Biplane Kit

The Trumpeter 64803 1/48 Gloster Gladiator MK1 captures the distinct silhouette and period detail of this interwar British biplane, supplying scale-accurate components for dedicated modelers. The kit focuses on faithful proportions and parts that reflect the Gladiator's original design.

Authentic History and Scale Accuracy

The Gloster Gladiator was the last biplane fighter used by the Royal Air Force and saw action in early World War II campaigns including the Battle of Britain and the Norwegian Campaign. This kit lets builders recreate key features like wing rigging and cockpit fittings with precision.

Assembly Notes and Display Advice

In 1/48 scale, the finely moulded PS parts require steady hands and careful assembly, making this a moderate challenge for hobbyists. Attention to the fuselage detail and landing gear pays off, producing a model that displays well on its own or as part of a larger collection.
