Description

Designed by W.E.W Petter, the Gnat entered RAF service in 1962 giving trainee pilots the perfect first experience of fast jets before they moved onto the Hunters and Lightnings they would fly on front line duties. Eventually the introduction of the Hawk jet trainer meant the end for the Gnat and they were phased out of RAF service in the late 1970s. A large number were passed to private operators where they still continue to be displayed at air shows.

Models & Model Kits are supplied unpainted and unassembled unless otherwise noted.
