Trumpeter 64803 - 1/48 Gloster Gladiator MK1: Accurate Scale Build

The Trumpeter 64803 1/48 Gloster Gladiator MK1 provides an accurate representation of the interwar biplane, with finely defined components suited to careful builders. The kit balances historical detail with solid fit for a rewarding modelling project.

Historical Context and Realistic Detail

As the Royal Air Forces last biplane fighter, the Gloster Gladiator saw service in early World War II including the Battle of Britain and Norwegian operations. The kit reproduces key features such as the wing structure and cockpit instrumentation for authentic scale appearance.

Build Characteristics and Presentation

At this scale, parts are detailed and require precise trimming and alignment, offering a moderate assembly challenge. The detailed fuselage and undercarriage create a convincing display model for shelves, cabinets, or themed scenes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Decals: Historical markings included
The cockpit includes fine moulded components and instrument detail that respond well to careful painting and optional instrument decal work.
Basic modelling tools such as hobby knives, sanding sticks, tweezers and model cement are sufficient; magnification and fine brushes help with small details.
The included decals show historical markings appropriate to the Gladiator and should align with commonly referenced schemes when applied carefully.
