¹⁄48

Airfix is planning to release a 1/48 scale Gloster Meteor FR.9. Release date is expected to be November 2018.

There will be two marking options:

●WL263 208 Squadron Malta 1957
●WB116/G RAF 2 squadron 1956

As the armed reconnaissance version of Britain’s first operational jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor FR.9 was based on the F.8 fighter version of the aircraft and replaced Spitfires and Mosquitos in this role. The extended nose housed a Williamson F.24 camera, which could be positioned to fire either forward, port of starboard facing. Its range was extended significantly by the addition of external wing and ventral fuel tanks.
