Magua87 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hi, team. I've just put the finishing touches on my Airfix (MPM re-pop) Gloster Meteor F8. This kit started life as a Belgian aircraft, but that turned to custard when I reached the decaling stage. The Airfix decals were thick and out of register. I decided to sand off the Airfix decals and ordered some new ones from Xtrakit. This turned into a full strip of the aircraft to remove any rough patches and to tidy up some scribing errors. I moved away from my Citadel paint (which is actually quite nice) and gave Tamiya AS-12 a go as I'd heard good things. The red is Gunze H23 Shine Red. I've got boxes full of British jets, so I was keen to add some colour to the collection so that I don't end up with a cabinet of green and grey. Very happy with the final outcome. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 That's a striking scheme and will certainly distract from the gray & green ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Nice Meteor - like your collection and the Meteor brings in some color. Can you post a pic of the Hunter? Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magua87 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Thanks, everyone. Stevehnz, figured a aerobatic display aircraft would be pretty clean!
