Yet another Airfix Meteor with Marmaduke Press Decals


Recommended Posts

Hi Folks

Continuing the theme here is another Airfix Meteor,this time in the markings of 263 Squadron.

Had to photograph this on the workbench as SWMBO had commandeered the kitchen table .

 

Cheers

 

Ian

Well done.

What scale is this or did I miss something?

1/48th.

 

That's an interesting combination of features on that Meteor: early canopy, early ailerons and deep-breather intakes.  With a serial number in the WK9xx range I'd have expected the later canopy from new but I've recently found a photo of 604's boss' aeroplane, also with a WK9xx serial, that also had the early canopy.

 

That's a really nice example Ian, please consider me very jealous.
