Print Scale 72-062 Decal Gloster Gladiator Part 1 Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-062 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Gloster Gladiator fighter in its RAF and Fleet Air Arm service variants. This decal set provides researched markings covering both land-based and carrier-based Gladiator aircraft operated during the pre-war period and the early years of the Second World War.

The Gloster Gladiator was the last biplane fighter introduced into frontline service with the Royal Air Force and also served with the Fleet Air Arm and several Commonwealth air arms. The markings included in this set reflect aircraft deployed in Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Scandinavia, illustrating the transition from pre-war finishes to early wartime camouflage standards.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to ensure accurate placement on the fabric-covered surfaces and complex wing structures typical of biplane aircraft in 1:72 scale. This set is compatible with 1:72 scale plastic model kits representing the Gloster Gladiator Mk I, Mk II, and Sea Gladiator variants and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the variety of camouflage schemes and marking configurations.
