Its most famous stand came during the defence of Malta, where a small group of pilots used Gladiators to resist heavy Axis air attacks, earning the aircraft a lasting place in RAF history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using plastic cement and basic modelling tools.
