The real subject

The Gloster Meteor was the first jet fighter to reach operational service with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. The twin-engine machine was powered by a pair of jet engines housed in the wings; the F Mk.III version brought more powerful engines and a range of improvements. During the war the Meteors were used among other things against the German V-1 flying bombs and in the defense of home territory, but they practically never got into larger combats with enemy fighters and served in greater numbers only in the postwar years.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic and sand the joints down carefully. Glue the cockpit glazing with a cement meant for canopies. Apply a primer before painting and spray the surface with an airbrush. Wartime machines wore camouflage on the upper surfaces with a light underside, postwar ones also a bare metal gloss finish — after the gloss coat apply the decals, bring out the panel lines with a wash and add fine traces of service.

  • Collectors of British aircraft and early jets
  • Modelers with experience of building in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone interested in the hardware of the closing stage of the Second World War
