  1. Woomera Meteor U. Mk.21A – 1/48 Airfix F.8 + Red Roo Conversion I have certainly been looking forward to this GB. The Red and White Woomera Meteor U. 16 and 21's manned/unmanned drones have always looked special to me. They also hold special interest as a regular visitor to Woomera, just a short drive off the Stuart Highway, to grab a wonderful big breakfast at the Woomera Heritage and Visitor Information Centre on our way to Coober Pedy. This year has been quite a busy one for me on other matters with frustratingly little time at the modelling bench. My 2022 Gallery completion rate is quite poor. I have set myself the goal of completing this one within time. Keep the conversion simple. Limit the enhancements. So, with the 1/48 Airfix F.8 kit and the Red Roo conversion kit in hand, let’s build a Woomera U. Mk.21A. Red Roo provide several marking options including the U. Mk.16 and the 21A options. I have opted for the asymmetric red/white scheme of A77-882 (WK937). The Red Roo kit gives detailed instructions on this and special thanks to @Ed Russell @Magpie22 and @Shorty84 for further evidence supporting the scheme. Starting with the usual box of plastic. With the fuselage and wings already separated for some dry fitting. It is a lovely kit. Excellent fit and appears to be in a harder plastic than some Airfix like the disappointing Sea Fury. This kit has fine detail and is a better material to work with. The plastic does have what appears to be quite a significant mould stipple effect. I think it will be OK under some paint and a light polish if need be. The Red Roo kit is excellent with everything in the box and very detailed 18 page instructions. Plus a good collection of decals to complement the Airfix roundels. Add to that some Eduard PE (I'll probably use very little of this) and a CMK MB Mk.2 ejection seat (gorgeous) and we're ready to start. Let’s blitz this one and get it into the Gallery. Roll on the weekend. Ray
