The Gloster Meteor F.1 in Miniature

The Tamiya 61051 captures the Gloster Meteor F.1 in faithful 1/48 scale, reflecting this milestone aircraft from early jet history. The kit notes the Meteor's initial flight on January 12, 1944, and shows the twin Rolls-Royce W.2B/23 engines, the four 20mm cannon armament and the characteristic tricycle undercarriage.

Operationally the Meteor F.1 had a significant impact, including the August 4, 1944 interception by Flying Officer Dean which saw a V1 destroyed. Although later Meteors improved performance, the F.1 is an important piece of aviation history and makes an engaging project for scale modellers.

Is this kit suitable for display only or for dioramas?

The kit is designed as a static display model and works well both on a simple stand and as part of a larger diorama with ground equipment or figures to add context.

Does the box include a pilot figure or instruction sheet?

The kit includes a detailed parts breakdown and assembly instructions, but no painted pilot figure; builders can pose a separate figure or leave the cockpit empty depending on preference.
