The reconnaissance FR.9 variant saw action during the Malayan Emergency, and both variants served during the Korean War in air defense and ground attack roles. The Meteor played a critical role in transitioning air forces from piston-engined aircraft to the jet age. This 1:72 scale model captures the sleek lines of this pioneering Cold War jet fighter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47488167215266,"sku":"A04067","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1875\/4210\/files\/A04067-1__27049.1730128333.1200.1200.jpg?v=1785470150","url":"https:\/\/shoptinkertown.com\/products\/level-2-model-kit-gloster-meteor-f-8fr-9-fighter-aircraft-with-2-scheme-options-172-plastic-model-kit-by-airfix","provider":"TinkerTown","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
