Detailed 1/48 Gloster Meteor F.1 Model

The Tamiya 61051 kit reproduces the Gloster Meteor F.1 at 1/48 scale, preserving the key characteristics of this pioneering jet. The model notes the aircraft's first flight on January 12, 1944, and portrays the Rolls-Royce W.2B/23 engines, the four 20mm cannon armament and the tricycle landing arrangement.

The Meteor F.1 saw notable service during the war, including a notable interception on August 4, 1944, when Flying Officer Dean engaged a V1 rocket. While successive Meteor versions refined the design, the F.1 stands as an important chapter in early jet development and a rewarding subject for a display build.
