I'm putting this in if my SH 1/48th Oxford sales along, or loses headway! Airfixs' neat Mk1 Hurricane, of which I have yet to build one, along with Alleycats' Sea Hurricane conversion. Having just completed their MkII Beaufighter conversion I'm sure this will go ahead with little trouble. Not sure what unit she'll be flying with but should be able to cobble together something.

A splash of colour for the cabinet - Llanbedr’s RVMDI trials Meteor U.16 WK800/Z circa 1987. Built using the superb 1/48 Airfix Meteor F.8 'Korean War' kit and Alleycat’s AC48056 resin conversion set. Fairly straight forward conversion with a new nose, wing tips, lots of new lumps, bumps and aerials and a few notable deletions such as the gun ports. I also used Eduard’s cockpit detailing set, new wheels from Barracuda and a pitot tube from Master. The yellow is Mr Color 113 RLM04 and I used Humbrols 174 satin enamel for the red. Never sprayed Humbrol enamels before and in truth I wasn’t looking forward to it. Have to say it sprayed like a dream - might have to use them more often. Thoroughly enjoyed this kit and conversion though it did nearly go in the bin on a couple of occasions. Still have the aerial targeting pod (pic attached) to add but I’ve run into a bit of a brick wall on this one so won’t add it until I can find some more info particularly about the rear aspects. Hope it’s of interest.

This is the second build I fancy doing for this GB, a Merlin engine Beaufighter Mk II, 789 Sqn, based in South Africa around.1945. I can't seem to find any photo's of Beaufighter's in this squadron on the 'net so will have to trust HPM's research. I'm using Airfix's TF.X boxing, the first I will have built, along with the AlleyCat conversion. Straight tailplanes are courtesy of a few MPM boxings of the Hasegawa kit I bought cheaply on E-Bay a year or two ago, hopefully they will match up well enough with the Airfix Fuselage, nowt a bit of modelling won't fettle!🙄 The leftover wings and engines will be used on a High Planes Mk Ic I have in the stash, of which I have built one which went OK, just the cowlings weren't the greatest to get right! I am waiting for the decals to arrive from Singapore, there's plenty of time yet an can get the thing built and ready for paint in the meantime. Will post pictures of the decals when they arrive, only been a week now although it didn't take that long for the last ones I ordered to arrive. Davey.
