Airfix Plastic Model Kit
Airfix Folland Gnat (1/48) A05123
The Airfix 1/48 scale Folland Gnat T.1 (Kit No. A05123) is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing the iconic British jet trainer. Developed in the 1950s, the Folland Gnat T.1 served as a primary training aircraft for the Royal Air Force and gained fame as the mount of the RAF’s aerobatic team, the Red Arrows.
This kit features finely engraved panel lines and includes options to build the model with the landing gear up or down, the canopy open or closed, and positionable control surfaces. The cockpit is well-detailed, with accurate instrument panels and seat harnesses that authentically represent the aircraft’s interior.
The kit offers two decal options: one for the Central Flying School’s aircraft and another for the Yellowjacks aerobatic team, the predecessor to the Red Arrows. These decals are printed precisely, ensuring accurate and vibrant markings for your model.
