Clear Prop! CP72007 GLOSTER E28/39 PIONEER STARTER KIT 1/72

The Clear Prop! CP72007 GLOSTER E28/39 PIONEER STARTER KIT 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit in 1/72 scale, faithfully replicating the British experimental aircraft Gloster E28/39 "Pioneer". This kit is a unique proposition for both beginners and advanced modelers who wish to enrich their collection with a pioneering jet fighter of the Royal Air Force.

The Gloster E28/39 was developed during World War II. It was the first British jet-powered aircraft and one of the forerunners in the development of jet fighter aviation worldwide. Prototypes took to the skies between 1941 and 1944, providing the United Kingdom with valuable experience and pioneering technical solutions, which enabled the later introduction of aircraft such as the Gloster Meteor. The E28/39 was tested at RAF Cranwell, RAE Farnborough, and Brockworth, among others. The kit includes decals to recreate four historic liveries: W4041 (RAF Cranwell 1941 and Brockworth 1941), W4041 (RAE Farnborough 1944), and W4046 (RAE Farnborough 1943).
