Cyber Hobby released it's
1st plastic kit of a Gloster Meteor F.3 in 2010 (Item DR5044),it was an
instant success. Cyber-Hobby are following up with another
inspirational kit of this famous British fighter. The Meteor earned its
place in history by being the first British and Allied operational jet
fighter. It entered service with the RAF in July 1944 and served for a
further ten years as Britain's primary frontline fighter. The Meteor
F.1, was the original production variant and it began equipping 616
Squadron of the RAF in June 1944. The squadron's first mission was
shooting down German V-1 flying bombs over England, with the aircraft
forbidden from flying over German territory in case the technology fell
into enemy hands.
The aircraft is accurately shaped thanks to the use of the latest
high-tech slide moulds. The fuselage is well detailed with panel lines
and particularly eye-catching are the new parts that create the
detailed Whittle jet engines. The exquisite twin engines are also
installed upon brand new wings. This kit features a brand new cockpit
canopy, with this new transparent part, modellers will be able to view
all the intricate detail inside the cockpit. This is a superb
Cyber-Hobby kit, it is the perfect follow-on to the Meteor released
earlier.
