Post-war, the design evolved rapidly to keep pace with the jet age, leading to the definitive F.8 variant. This version served as the backbone of RAF Fighter Command throughout the 1950s and was also widely exported, becoming a classic early jet fighter design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/72 scale kit from Airfix is a detailed replica of the Gloster Meteor F.8. The model accurately captures the lines of this iconic British aircraft and features finely engraved surface details. The kit includes three different marking options, allowing the modeller to depict aircraft from two different RAF squadrons or one from the Belgian Air Force during the early 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit accurately captures the shape of the Gloster Meteor F.8 variant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree different decal schemes are included: No 500 Sqn RAuxAF, No 74 Sqn RAF, and No 350 Sqn Belgian Air Force\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cockpit is detailed with a pilot figure and instrument panel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanding gear can be modelled in either the up or down position\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe model features finely recessed panel lines for a realistic finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic kit from the Airfix Aircraft series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Airfix Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 191mm (7.51\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWingspan: 158mm (6.22\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: 55mm (2.16\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: 111\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AIRFIX","offers":[{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426928963785,"sku":"10033364","price":59.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/c8d7ca00582945b1969e01ee57a4f18e.webp?v=1764901667","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/airfix-1-72-gloster-meteor-f-8-jet-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
