Meteor NF Mk.14 ‘The Last of Night Fighters’\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Meteor NF Mk.14 night \/ all weather jet fighters were desingned as a rather urgently needed replacement of the piston-engine powered Mosquitoes. In the 1950s, the Soviet, nuclear weapons armed bombers posed a very real threat. The last versions of this all-wweather fighter, the Mk.14 introduced many improvements of its airframe based on experience gained by oprating the earlier Meteor versions. Comparing with them, the Mk.14 featured much simplified, rear-slid canopy hood with almost no framing. The RAF operated this final Meteor verison both from the home and overseas bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit offers five grey styrene sprues and a single clear parts sprue with two styles of the windshield. The decal sheet contains markings for four machines including a full set of the airframe stencilling. There are marking schemes for three RAF machines, one of which flew from Malaya-located bases, the other two were based in Britain. For local customers might be of great significance that onr of the British-based aiframes was flown by a Czech pilot S\/L Miro Liškutín. The fourth colour option is a French machine used by the CEV test centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperbly detailed model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo other kit of this version on the market, except for the rather ancient Matchbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamouflage options you will find difficult to chose only one from.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPECIAL HOBBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29529520078901,"sku":"SH-72364","price":45.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/8617\/3749\/products\/SH-723641.jpg?v=1633593313","url":"https:\/\/www.metrohobbies.com.au\/products\/special-hobby-72364-1-72-armstrong-whitworth-meteor-nightfighters-nf-mk14","provider":"Metro Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
