Work In Progress Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Proper lovely box art and my favourite Meteor version. I have too many 1/72 Meteors already but will have to have that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'd love to see them come out with the M.B. Mk.7 1/2, but this looks very nice indeed! I might have to buy this one, not that I don't have enough Meatboxes in the stash. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a reconnaissance nose as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Yes! http://www.aeromodel.eu/en/special-hobby-1/special-hobby-1-72/1-72-gloster-meteor-t-mk-7-5.html?cur=1 Source: http://www.mpmkits.eu/2014/12/sh72317-gloster-meteor-t-mk-75-172-scale.html Friday, 12 December 2014 SH72317 Gloster Meteor T Mk 7.5 1/72 scale Gloster T Mk 7 trainer aircraft (available under no.72548) was one of the most widespread variants of the Meteor jet fighter aircraft. Only a handful of the Meteor T Mk7 was equipped with a larger and squared off tail taken from the more modern Mk 8 fighter version. This new trainer variant got somewhat peculiar designation Meteor T Mk 7.5 (T Mk 7 ? was also used). While these planes were used in Great Britain mainly for various test flights and public shows, in the Belgian and Israeli air forces they served as standard training machines. The kit SH72317 contains five frames of plastic parts, three of them in standard greyish styrene, the other two which contain the canopy and recce nose parts are made of clear plastic. The decal sheet offers markings for the Gloster company demonstration aircraft which was blue overall with white coloured stripes and civil registration codes. It was also equipped with non-standard wing-tip fuel tanks. The other British aircraft in this kit is the RAE test machine in dark blue overall and with a non-standard reconnaissance nose. This pair is accompanied by a silver Belgian machine with yellow trimmings and a camouflaged Israeli plane wearing a name on its nose (Ef´eh, ie Viper) V.P.

Work In Progress Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Eek! You would have to actually use black or dark grey paint to make a full size Meteor look like that on a freshly painted airframe (which G-ANSO was when in that guise). No amount of oil or grime would spread out so far from the panel lines. Edited February 7, 2015 by Work In Progress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Didn't you realise ? All real aircraft are pre-shaded with thick black lines, especially the colourful jets from the golden era. To give depth I've been instructed that it's much better to spray two slightly different shades of the same colour, preferably whilst the first is still wet. Nice looking kit though. Looking forward to the Fisher T.7 conversion for the 1/32 HKM offering. Tony 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think the management at the Gloster Aircraft Company would have had a fit if G-ANSO had looked like that on the flightline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I use pre shading all the time but that is taking it too far. A fine looking kit though. Duncan B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Really like the RAE Bedford scheme with the photo nose, though I'll need to take a deep breath and identify a day to tackle those trailing edges! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
