The Gloster Meteor F.3 was developed as an evolution of the F.1 version and was officially introduced into service in the Royal Air Force in 1944. The aircraft was used in the last months of World War II, mainly in pursuit and interception roles against German V1 rockets, as well as for pilot training and testing of new technological solutions. F.3 variants featured a more powerful propulsion system (Rolls-Royce Derwent I/II turbojet engines) and a modified fuselage and canopy glazing. This aircraft became the foundation for the post-war development of British jet aviation.

The 1/72 scale Cyber Hobby model remains faithful to the real-life proportions of its predecessor and includes a richly detailed cockpit, panel lines, and fine technical details. A clear canopy and detailed decals allow for authentic RAF squadron markings. The assembly instruction is clear and enables both beginners and intermediate modelers to build a replica with a high level of realism and satisfaction.

We recommend this product to all enthusiasts of aircraft modeling as well as collectors of jet aircraft from World War II and the post-war years. Building the model requires basic modeling skills – we assess the difficulty level as 2/5.
