Hi, I'am currently working on the MPM Meteor FR.9 (1/72). The kit includes two kinds of intakes: a smaller ring resulting in a bigger diameter intake and a longer one resulting in a more narrow intake. I think this is an early vs. late production thing, but frankly I can't spot the difference on most photos. So which would be correct for the FR.9 with the serial WX978? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I'll be building the MPM "RAAF Meteor F.8 Over Korea" boxing of their Meteor kit, using a mix of kit decals and some spares very kindly sent to me by Forlornhope here on the forums that should enable me to make the jet of F/O George S Hale, who was credited with one "probable" and one "damaged" MiG-15 in a single combat on 27 March, 1953. Here's a picture of the aircraft shortly after the fight: (AWM/JK0683, copyright expired) Note the "MiG Killer" written in the soot around the cannons. I'll post a picture of the kit shortly; I'm at work right now, and in any case I need to finish a D.520 kit before I start this guy. I normally use Tamiya XF-16 for High Speed Silver, but I've been considering alternative paints for a less grainy finish; Alclad won't work because of the poor weather and poor ventilation in my workroom.
