MATPK-15 - Matchbox 1/72 Gnat Nk.1 Trainer - WWHP111723
Preowned, Resealed, Mint
The Folland Gnat T.1 was the RAF's advanced jet trainer from 1962 to 1979, training a generation of fast-jet pilots before the Hawk replaced it. Small, agile, and inexpensive to operate, it earned lasting fame as the first mount of the Red Arrows, who flew the Gnat from their formation in 1965 until 1979. Fighter versions also served with Finland and India, where it earned the nickname "Sabre Slayer."
Original 1973 Lesney issue with classic Red Arrows box art, moulded in two colours.
