Eduard SS838 Meteor FR.9 AIRFIX 1/72 – photo-etched detail set for the Gloster Meteor FR.9 model

The Eduard SS838 photo-etched set is a top-quality modeling accessory designed for the Airfix 1/72 scale Gloster Meteor FR.9 plastic model kit. This product is dedicated to demanding modelers who wish to enhance the level of detail and realism of their British post-war jet fighter model. The Gloster Meteor FR.9 was the RAF's first jet fighter, widely used by Britain and exported to many allied countries during the Cold War, especially from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s.

The Eduard SS838 accessory set presented here is precisely tailored for the Airfix model, ensuring a perfect fit. It contains etched metal details that significantly improve the realism of the cockpit interior – including pilot seatbelts, instrument panels with clearly marked gauges, and internal side panel components. These extras allow for an accurate recreation of the specific features of the FR.9 variant, which served, among others, in tactical reconnaissance units in the Middle East and during the Malayan conflict, bringing the model's authenticity up to a showcase standard.
