Gloster Meteor 1/72 Scale Model

British Meteor Mk.III - This is a model of a jet fighter plane that was used for ground support in Western Europe during early 1945.

The Meteor underwent many improvements and had a long operational history. After WWII, they saw combat with the Australian air force in the Korean War. And several nations flew them in the various conflicts in the Middle East.
