Product Description
Introducing the 1/72 scale full resin kit Gloster Gamecock Mk.I from CMR (Czech Master Resin) of the Czech Republic.
The Gamecock was a biplane fighter aircraft manufactured by British Gloucester Aircraft.
Design of this aircraft began in 1924 at the request of the Air Ministry, based on the Gloster Greebe.
The Gamecock, which had its engines replaced with Bristol Jupiter engines and had a revised fuselage and armament, was praised for its maneuverability and speed, but the high rate of in-flight accidents meant that it was only used for a short time by the RAF.
However, the aircraft was license-built in Finland and saw long service with the Finnish Air Force, including during the Winter War with the Soviet Union from 1939-1940.
In Japan, Nakajima Aircraft Company's Gambet (Type G Carrier Fighter), which was based on the Gamecock and modified for carrier use, won the competition to select the successor to the Type 1-1 carrier-only aircraft, and was licensed for production as the Type 3 Carrier Fighter.
The kit comes with a transparent windshield film and five RAF decals.
When completed, the total length will be approximately 83mm and the total width approximately 126mm.
