Designed as a high-performance night fighter for Britain's Air Ministry, the Gloster Javelin first flew on November 26, 1951. This all-weather interceptor had a distinctive, large finned T-tail and was the RAF's only delta-winged fighter and Gloster's last production aircraft. The Javelin evolved quickly, with seven different variants produced over a period of only a few years. It officially entered service in 1956, equipping 14 squadrons, and provided faithful service for more than a decade. The Javelin was very technologically advanced for its time and could attack day or night in any weather condition, giving it a distinct advantage over most of its contemporaries. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.

Replication of the "drooped" wing leading edge and wing-tip vortex generators can be seen on this model's broad delta wing. Upon close inspection, distinct-yet-subtle panel-line and rivet details are visible throughout, an uncommon feature in diecast metal (usually only seen on plastic models). The model and be easily configured for ground display, or mounted to its positionable all-metal display stand. Additional features include removable canopy, ordnance and fuel tanks.
