Simple Gloster Gladiator Mk.II

24.3k Mikan  5.1 years ago

Simple enough to look at. Being a biplane, it is naturally more complicated to produce. Hence 130+ parts. Also I feel the need to add a sight.

The Gloster Gladiator is a British fighter produced in the 1930s, being the last fighter biplane for Britain to produce. The aircraft served in the Second World War, even though it is outdated by the time it was produced. A majority of the aircraft is sold to other countries whilst only 50 or so served in places like Malta.

For it’s loyalty, I’d like to call it the Ladiator.

This replica has too much engine power. That’s it. And by the look of things, this is one of the two nicest lookin Gladiators out there on this site.
