About product

Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF Mk.11 RAF Squadrons (1:72)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the night fighter Meteor NF Mk.11 in 1:72 scale, in the version with decals for RAF squadrons. The decals cover machines of RAF squadrons.

The real subject

The Meteor NF.11 was the first jet night fighter of the Royal Air Force. Development and production passed to the Armstrong Whitworth firm, because Gloster was fully occupied with production of the Meteor F.8 day fighter. Its characteristic feature was the lengthened bulbous nose with the AI Mk.10 airborne radar, on account of which the four 20 mm Hispano cannon moved from the nose into the wings, outboard of the engine nacelles. The first production machines were taken over by RAF squadrons in 1951; 341 NF.11s were built for the RAF in total.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with liquid cement for plastic and apply a primer before painting. The long canopy glazing and the bulbous nose are worth masking and cleaning up carefully. For the typical night fighter schemes with dark upper surfaces an airbrush is the right choice; a light wash will accentuate the panel lines. Apply the squadron decals over a gloss clear coat.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of British postwar jet aircraft
  • Fans of night fighters and of RAF history
  • Modelers with experience of 1:72 scale
  • Anyone interested in the radar-equipped versions of the Meteor

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was the first jet night fighter of the RAF, with the AI Mk.10 airborne radar in a lengthened bulbous nose.

The four 20 mm Hispano cannon are placed in the wings outboard of the engines, because the radar takes up the nose.

It is a decal edition focused on the machines of squadrons of the Royal Air Force.
