That' a little beauty of a vintage model David very well done thanks for sharing Eamonn

Superb job on a very neat kit and a wonderful collection Steve loving the hangar too very nice thanks for sharing Eamonn

That's an absolute beauty David very well done always nice to see a Corps helicopter on here you've captured her beautifully 👏 When they first arrived it was a long running saga at a model stall in central Dublin as to the correct shade of grey on the fuselage went on for months 😄 thanks for sharing Eamonn

Good morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all ☘️ Haven't had much time lately for modelling but managed a couple of hours last night, slowly taking shape and I've enjoyed the little time I had to work with, great therapy We are very grateful for all your kind messages thank you so much Usual comments advice suggestions please stay safe Eamonn

Hi All Thanks for all your kind messages hope to get some work done this evening and post an update in the morning Eamonn

Coming together very nicely Laurie great pics too Thanks for sharing Eamonn

I agree Sinister both would be fantastic a new tool Zvezda 707 & A330 preferably a 200 would be right up there on many wish lists. In the meantime I can't wait to get my hands on this kit & a new tool BAC 111 that's on the way from elsewhere Happy times for civilian modellers Eamonn

Very Nicely done Keith always nice to see a Air Corps model thanks for sharing Eamonn

Outstanding pics of to my mind a very pretty & capable aircraft. Thanks for sharing as always Mark Eamonn

Starting point for later any advice suggestions help gratefully received Eamonn

Hi all Thanks for the update Joe and as expected it's a 1a fuselage. So two different options for cutting this could be a good challenge gentlemen ? front or back cut both have merits! but it would have been better if Valom had provided the right one in the first place. Judging by the interest in this aircraft it would have kept us all happy. Joe I agree with Alex it would be great if you could rustle up a sheet but the colour schemes are even worse than Seafire Green 🤣, I once met an Aer Lingus retiree who told me the cheatline was the same colour as the CIE buses & trains not orange but I didn't know if he was on a wind up. For such a short time in the fleet they seemed to be painted a number of different shades and so were the DAKs but getting definitive proof is going to be a nightmare. It would also be great if you could reissue your early Aer Lingus sheet mine were stolen in a burglary back in Dub along with a lot of other sheets I haven't been able to replace and I would along with many others be grateful to you if you re pop them. stay safe everyone Eamonn

Morning all Many thanks for the kind messages my partner is a bit poorly as you say here and she's heading to hospital soon for some treatment, As she nursed me following my lengthy illness, it's been a bit of a shock to see her sick for the first time. We will get through it and I'm touched by your messages many thanks. I will upload a pic or two later I've not been near the Meteor for a couple of days but will put that right this evening still needs a lot of remedial work as I think I shouldn't have put the undercoat on first but we live and learn. I tried a little 10thou plastic card in the U/C bay just for an experiment but won't bother with the rest this time. I also used a sharpie to outline an engine in each pod not 100% accurate but in those immortal words of our hobby " I knows its there" 😉. Chat later stay safe everyone Eamonn

Good morning all Quick update today as i won't have time to be on here dealing with a family issue. Many thanks for all your kind words and comments I wasn't expecting so many and its much appreciated Just a quick question should I box in the undercarriage bays? Thanking you in advance see you all tomorrow Eamonn

I don't normally comment and just press F5 & normally it does the trick, but today there has been a huge increase in 503's sadly

Very nicely finish Adam she's a beauty well done thanks for sharing Eamonn

Nice to hear you got sorted and I agree with all the other posters regarding using Laser decals. They need a little extra work so vital to plan ahead but they do look fantastic when got right! and Nick does a very eclectic mix and produces the odd one off's too. Enjoy using them Eamonn

Fantastic Phil starting to come together nicely very well done Eamonn
