1/72 Gloster Meteor Mk.4 Fuerza Aerea Argentina
The 1/72nd scale model of the Gloster Meteor Mk.4 Fuerza Aérea Argentina by Special Hobby represents the British jet fighter aircraft in the colours of the Argentine Air Force, which deployed this type in the 1950s. The kit features detailed plastic parts, cockpit, landing gear and decals for the Argentine machines. Package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
The Gloster Meteor Mk.4 was one of the first mass-produced jet fighters in the world. Developed during the Second World War, it served in many countries around the world after the end of the war. The Mk.4 version was upgraded with more powerful Rolls-Royce Derwent 5 engines and an improved fuselage and wing design.
Argentina became one of the few users of the Meteor outside Europe. In 1947 it ordered several dozen Mk.4s, which formed the backbone of the Fuerza Aérea Argentina jet fighter force. The Meteor Mk.4 flew in Argentine colours until the 1960s and was deployed even during the internal political turmoil, becoming an important part of South American military aviation history.
The Special Hobby 1/72 Gloster Meteor Mk.4 Fuerza Aérea Argentina offers detailed plastic parts, a realistic cockpit, landing gear shafts and precise surface details. Also included are decals for the Argentine machines, allowing you to build an attractive model in an unusual livery outside of the classic European camouflage.
The package does not include the paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
