Accurate 1/48 static models of Meteor F.1 and V-1

The Tamiya 61065 kit captures two important wartime machines at 1/48 scale: the Gloster Meteor F.1 jet fighter and the V-1 flying bomb. The Meteor, equipped with Rolls Royce engines, reached speeds around 668 km/h in its early service, while the V-1 used a pulse-jet for its role as an early cruise weapon. The set is aimed at modellers seeking clean assembly and faithful external detail for display pieces.

How accurate are the kit markings for period liveries?

The decals provide representative markings for common schemes. For unit-specific accuracy consult period photos or specialist decal sets if you need exact squadron details.

What basic tools should I have before starting?

Essential tools include plastic cement, hobby knives, fine files, sanding sticks, brushes or an airbrush, and masking tape. A steady workspace and good lighting improve results.

Is weathering recommended for these models?

Weathering is optional and can add realism. Light panel shading and subtle wear suit the Meteor, while the V-1 usually benefits from a simpler finish to reflect its operational role.
