Gloster Meteor F8

4,897 ZacOnTrack  2.4 years ago

The Gloster Meteor was a British Fighter Jet during the late 1940s and early 1950s. It served in both WW2 and Korea by the RAF and other Commonwealth nations. Also employed by Argentina, Isreal, Syria, Egypt and even France. It was used in WW2 as an interceptor of V1 rocket weapon. In Korea it fought Mig-15 fighters with the RAF, RAAF amd RNZAF. However the Mig-15 is considered superior. I know this representation isn't amazing, but many parts (mainly the nose and landing gear) where suprisingly difficult
