Once placing third in 1936 and winning in 38\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and 39\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Based on a traditional mid-wing monoplane the Meteor had fixed tricycle landing gear and a simple cockpit layout. Being a racing aircraft it needed as much power as possible and was powered by a 1,000HP Pratt &amp; Whitney Twin Wasp engine that could reach speeds of 350 mph.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review is for the Laird-Turner Meteor Air Racer 1:32 Scale Lindbergh Model Kit #70562.
