Ed Russell Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 We are working on some interesting Meteor decals for the new 1/48 Airfix kit including MiG killers and a variety of interesting nose-art but in the meantime we have had some requests for an out-of-print decal set for the RAAF's first official aerobatic team The Meteorites. Decals enable any one of the team of four Meteors to be modelled. So we have done a quite limited run of decals using both decals we had available plus our short-run technology to update the set. Pardon the crappy photo and note that the larger decal sheet is printed so that you "slap" it on rather than "slide" it on. Full instructions are included and we know it works quite well. It's also available in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Nice. I have a photo somewhere which shows a roo roundel on the side of a meteroties aircraft. Do you know if that was a display one or added later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Probably this one http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/gallery/Meteor-A77-874/A77_874003?full=1 It's a slightly less-than-accurate repaint by the RAAF if they are trying to depict it in service. 874 is indeed a genuine ex-display team airframe.

Ed Russell Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Here's an update........ it looks like you can have a roo roundel http://aerobaticteams.net/en/teams/i120/RAAF-Meteorites.html That looks like a contemporary picture and the roo looks a little small for the roundel.. Also, there is apparently one around with an oversized kangaroo on the roundel "....it was the only stencil we had..... but I haven't seen it.
