On approach into ZZZ on ILS XR we had been asked to keep our speed up until the marker. We complied with the request. The weather was very gusty winds and both myself and the pilot flying communicated as to what the V-ref target speeds should be. Sometime before 1000 feet the pilot flying was trying to control his speed and configure at the last minute in order to comply with the Tower's request. We had traffic about 3 1/2 miles in front of us. With the gusty winds and both of us pilots being relatively new to the aircraft and because this aircraft was an X type aircraft I had relayed to the pilot flying that we didn't want to have a tail strike with such gusty winds; so I suggested that at any time either one of us felt that we weren't going to land in the touchdown zone or we didn't feel we weren't going to make a normal landing then we needed to 'go-around.' About 1200 feet we got another gusty wind report from the Tower that caused me to readjust the target speed with my head being down and losing situational awareness (SA). We never got too fast for our configuration but I called the'1000 feet' call at approximately 930 feet. I had already configured the aircraft for the landing checklist except for final flaps. I feel the pilot flying got distracted by me changing the target speeds that he lost his SA and forgot to call for flaps 30/landing checklist. I initiated the checklist and realized we were hadn't gone to flaps 30 and he hadn't called for the checklist. I selected final flaps and finished the checklist. I called 500 feet and he responded stable and we landed uneventfully.
On arrival into ZZZ I was configured flaps 15; 180 knots until the marker. About the time I was going to call flaps 30 we received a new gusting  wind report from tower that required an adjustment to our target speed. We discussed the wind and adjusted for about a 15 knot add over flaps 30 ref of about 148 target speed. Upon completing landing checklist which at this point was also delayed and we discovered that the flaps were not positioned yet to 30. We immediately positioned the flaps to 30 and landed. The flaps 15 speed I was flying was very close to the new target speed and the aircraft was stable with respect to airspeed altitude and course. Contributing factors can include my new position as a requalification on the aircraft with only about 4 landings this year.
Air Carrier flight crew reported an unstable approach in gusty wind conditions. First Officer (PF) cited having minimal flight time this year.
