Gloster Meteor F.8 Prone Pilot (Plastic model) - HobbySearch Military Model Store

This item is limited to 3 per household.

--This is an experimental aircraft with a prone cockpit added to the nose to verify the improvement of the pilot's G resistance.
――In the early 1950s, the prone position seemed to be effective in withstanding the G-bearing load of supersonic jet pilots.
――Therefore, one of Meetia was remodeled to become a testing machine in order to actually perform the test in the prone position.
--A new cockpit for the prone position was added in front of the normal cockpit, and the flight test began in 1954.
――In the prone position, the attempt was completed due to problems such as emergency evacuation.

--Type 1 Royal Air Force decal included
――When completed, the total length will be about 221 mm and the total width will be about 157 mm.
