The Gloster Gladiator was a British biplane fighter and one of the last of its type to see combat. It entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1937 and was used both just before and during the early years of World War II. It took part in battles over Norway, Greece, Malta, and during the North African campaign. It was renowned for the durability of the aircraft and the resilience of its pilots, despite often facing technically superior opponents.

The Quickboost QB32257 set includes precisely cast barrels that perfectly replicate the characteristic armament of the Gladiator. The use of resin allows for exceptionally sharp detail, impossible to achieve with standard plastic injection molding techniques.
