This product from the Czech manufacturer Eduard is made of precision-cast resin, ensuring an unprecedented level of detail compared to standard kits, including tread pattern, grooves, and realistic wheel rim detail.

The Gloster Meteor F.8 was one of the most important jet fighters of the Cold War period, serving in the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom as well as in many other countries, including the Netherlands, Australia, Argentina, and Israel, from 1949 to 1960. This aircraft participated in operations in Middle Eastern conflicts and was also used for pilot training in numerous air forces.

The Eduard 648272 set includes both main landing gear wheels and a nose wheel, all made using resin casting technology with sharply defined details that are missing from the original Airfix kit.
