The Gloster Meteor, Britain's first jet fighter and the only Allied jet aircraft to see service during the Second World War, paved the way for a new era in aerial combat. Its later F.8 variant, regarded as the most effective version, became the backbone of Britain's fighter defence force for five years after its introduction in 1949.

This 1/48 scale model kit by Airfix allows you to recreate this historic jet fighter in meticulous detail. Intermediate modellers can enjoy a rewarding build and choose from two paint schemes, showcasing the Meteor's role in aerobatic displays with the Evergreen Display Team and the RAAF Meteorites.
