camper1 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hi Folks This is the CA MeteorT7 which has resided on the shelf of doom for too long, it was almost finished but removing the masking from the canopy the paint came with it so I lost interest for a while. This aircraft was one of the last T7s built for the RAF and had the large bore intakes fitted, the one on the model are leftovers from an Airfix Meteor and when cut to the right length fit almost perfectly. WN311 as shown was attached to 1Grp Com Flight and scrapped in 1962. I found a photo of the back end of sticking out of a large pile of Meteors a bit of a search found another one but I couldn't determine if the trainer bands were on the aircraft,Tony O'Toole came up trumps with a good side view but it had no trainer bands. While searching for something else I came across a tiny side view which showed the trainer bands so it was finished as the photo,I do like trainer bands[Hate painting with yellow] Ian 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenko Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That's really nice. Good to see a scheme that's a bit different. Thanks for posting Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That looks splendid. Which yellow did you use for the trainer bands please? It looks a little darker and richer than one of my present weapons of choice Humbrol 69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
