The Airfix kit
You may well have seen my full build of the Airfix Gloster Meteor F8 kit in 1:48 and this FR9 is based on that kit with the addition of the new nose parts and a few small additions. So do take a look if you want to know how this kit goes together.

As is our current practice I’d like to show this kit to you properly and so take a look at my HD video review below!
Here’s my summary
This is a good package with excellent levels of quality and detail across the whole kit. Looking at the options and diverse variety of options on offer, I think you’ll be very happy with what’s on offer.
We’ve built the F8 kit on which this is based twice so far (see above links) and so see those reviews if you are interested for a heads up on what’s on offer.
