ICM Gloster Sea Gladiator Mk.II With Royal Navy pilots 1:32 Scale Model Kit 32045 Gloster Sea Gladiator Mk.II With Royal Navy pilots Introducing the Gloster Sea Gladiator Mk.II With Royal Navy Pilots Scale Model Kit in the impressive 1:32 scale by ICM. This Plastic Model Kit delves into the history of the Royal Navy's air forces at the onset of World War II, comprised of 20 squadrons boasting a total of 232 aircraft. Naval aviation played a multifaceted role, including reconnaissance, battleship spotting, offensive operations against enemy warships and merchant vessels, and protection against submarines and enemy aircraft. Squadrons typically consisted of 9-12 aircraft of the same type, occasionally featuring mixed compositions. A distinctive characteristic of British naval aviation pre-World War II was the prevalence of biplane aircraft, chosen for their superior flying characteristics during deck landings in open seas. The single-seat biplane fighter, the Gloster Sea Gladiator, emerged in 1938 as a naval adaptation of the land-based Gladiator fighter. The deck variant of the Sea Gladiator featured a reinforced lower wing, modified equipment, a tailhook for landing, and a housed life raft beneath the fuselage. Production spanned from December 1938 to February 1939, resulting in 60 Gloster Sea Gladiators, with an additional 38 aircraft converted from land-based Gladiator Mk.II fighters. The ICM Gloster Sea Gladiator Mk.II With Royal Navy Pilots Scale Model Kit in 1:32 scale meticulously captures the essence of this historical aircraft, allowing enthusiasts to recreate the vital role played by naval aviation during the early stages of World War II.
