1/72 Azur Jet Aircraft

Gloster Meteor Mk.7 British Jet Fighter

Azur provides a definitive 1/72 scale kit of the Gloster Meteor Mk.7, representing an important variant of Britain's first operational jet fighter. The Meteor Mk.7 (FR0045) served as a two-seat trainer variant with tandem cockpits, extended fuselage, and dual canopies that differentiate it from single-seat fighter variants. This kit captures the distinctive features of the Meteor including twin Rolls-Royce Derwent engines mounted in the wing roots, straight wings optimized for subsonic flight, tricycle landing gear, and the characteristic British jet fighter profile of the early jet age. The Mk.7 trainer variant played an essential role in converting RAF pilots to jet operations during the transition from propeller-driven aircraft to jet fighters in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The kit features precision-molded parts with accurate dimensions and surface details, detailed cockpits for both instructor and student positions, comprehensive landing gear and wheel wells, clear canopy parts with accurate framing for both cockpit positions, and extensive decal sheets covering RAF markings and squadron options. The Meteor represents a significant chapter in aviation history as one of the few Allied jet fighters to see combat during World War II and the primary British jet fighter of the immediate post-war period. This rare subject integrates perfectly with Special Hobby, CMK, and Classic Airframes early jet collections.
