Gloster Meteor F.8/FR.9 - Exclusive special edition for discerning model makers

With the limited special edition of the Gloster Meteor F.8/FR.9, Revell presents the first ever F.8 kit in 1:32 scale. Limited to 3,000 units worldwide, this edition combines precise new development with exclusive collector's value.

Technical specifications of the kit

The kit comprises over 400 precision-manufactured individual parts and offers multiple building options for different production statuses. Separate engine representations allow both closed and maintenance representations. The included etched part extension details the cockpit down to instrument level.

Authenticity in detail

Revell's development team used original drawings, aircraft manuals and plenty of photographs combined with a 3D scan of the real aircraft for maximum accuracy. Particularly noteworthy are the array of options given to the modeller including F.8 & FR.9 noses, early & late intake types, two aileron styles, early & late canopy style plus much more!

Exclusive accessories package

The included Duke Hawkins reference book offers 84 pages of technical analysis and historical photographs. A masking set for the canopy is also provided, allowing for easy painting of the clear parts. An extensive coloured cockpit etch set produced by Eduard will also feature, giving any modeller plenty of options when it comes to their build. To top it all off, a vintage A3 Gloster Meteor poster is also included!

Availability and collector's value

The strict limitation to 3,000 pieces worldwide makes this edition a coveted collector's item. Previous Revell special editions have recorded considerable increases in value on the collectors' market after selling out.

This special edition is aimed at model builders who value historical accuracy and exclusive features. The combination of first-time scale realization and extensive additional material justifies its positioning as a premium product in the Revell portfolio.
