Eduard 48796 Gloster Javelin FAW.9/9R undercarriage is a high-quality photo-etched detail set, designed specifically for the 1:48 scale AIRFIX Gloster Javelin FAW.9/9R model. This product is intended for modelers who appreciate the highest level of detail and realism. It includes components that significantly enhance the accuracy of the undercarriage and wheel bays of the RAF Cold War era interceptor fighter.

The 1:48 scale Gloster Javelin FAW.9/9R model represents a British long-range jet fighter that served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 to 1968, during the Cold War. The Gloster Javelin was the last RAF fighter with a twin tailplane delta configuration. The aircraft was mainly used for night interception missions and air defense of the United Kingdom. The FAW.9 and FAW.9R versions were equipped with modern avionics, upgraded radars, and options for carrying missile armament; the FAW.9R could additionally carry underwing fuel tanks.

Advantages and recommendations

The Eduard 48796 set is extremely detailed, allowing you to significantly enrich the appearance of your Gloster Javelin model. The parts are manufactured with great precision, and their assembly requires care, but the final result surpasses the standard out-of-the-box build. We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 3/5 due to working with small and delicate photo-etched components).

This accessory is perfect for military aviation enthusiasts and Cold War model collectors who want to showcase their Gloster Javelin FAW.9/9R in museum-quality display.
