Gloster IVa, Alexandre Bigey, 1/72 Tommy Atkins kit

Wings of Peace Racers Contest winner! The Gloster IV is the latest biplane contender at the Schneider Trophy Air Races. 3 aircraft were built (Gloster IV, IVa, and IVb) powered by Napier Lion variants. Only Gloster IVb (N223) actually entered the 1927 race (which was won by a Supermarine S.5). Here is represented Gloster IVa (N222)in 1/72nd scale from the Tommy Atkins all white metal kit from England (yes I know...)
