GLOSTER METEOR
F.8 KOREA
The Gloster Meteor was Britain’s
first jet fighter and the only Allied
jet aircraft to see operational service
during the Second World War. The
post-war F.8 variant of the Meteor was
fitted with new more powerful Derwent
turbojet engines and was perhaps the
definitive incarnation of this famous
aircraft and was the main RAF fighter
throughout the 1950s, until superseded
by the Hawker Hunter. A stable and
reliable aircraft, the Meteor F.8
soon became outclassed as an
air superiority fighter, but the
effectiveness of the basic design
allowed the aircraft to be used in
a variety of other roles.

O
Tonka Time!
for our latest Modellers Datafile on the
aircraft! We have a Luftwaffe IDS from
Rene Van Der Hart and a superb Tiger
Meet ECR from Mike Williams, with
another view of the same aircraft from
Vitor Costa. Elsewhere, and once again,
it’s my pleasure to bring you more
incredible builds in this issue of Model
Aircraft, and to welcome to our pages
the talents of Jay Blakemore, and his
sublime Ju-87 Stuka, and we look
forward to more of his sublime works in future
editions. I am also pleased to welcome Sebastian
Perez with his 1:48 Kinetic Mirage 2000B diorama,
and Jean-Jacques Labrot with his take on the 1:72
Tamiya Mitsubishi A6M3 Model 32. As always
there is so much to enjoy in our pages, so all that
remains for me to say is…… 
Happy modelling

Casemate
Competition
ne of my many favourite
aircraft, and yes, I have
quite a few, is the Panavia
Tornado, and a type that
I have been privileged
to ‘experience’ from very close
quarters on a couple of memorable
occasions! Colloquially referred to
in the UK as the ‘Tonka’ and ‘The
Flying Fin’, it has been the mainstay
of the RAF, the Luftwaffe, and the
Italian and Saudi strike forces for a long while.
Now reaching the end of its RAF service life, the
aircraft is still operating in war zones, however,
the Eurofighter Typhoon is steadily replacing it
in service. Never the most attractive of aircraft
types, the Tornado nevertheless proved it worth
in the Gulf Wars, and bore the brunt of RAF strike
operations until recent times. So perhaps it’s a
fitting moment to take a look at the Tornado, and
in this case, in service with the German Air Force,
and to that end we have two ‘takes on Tornado’
this month, both designed whet your appetite
