My build for the STGB will be the Fireflash trials NF.11 in 1/72 using the Red Roo conversion. Here's what you get in the box: The plastic is Special Hobby (I think) and looks very nice. There are various resin bits including a new nose and the Fireflash missiles and launch rails, pre-cut masks, a hypodermic needle (not sure what that's for but I'll soon find out I suppose), a comprehensive and detailed set of instructions, and a nice looking decal sheet with options for several aircraft - going to have to use one of the sharkmouths for this build. Need to get my Canadian builds finished before I can get cracking with this, but it won't be a long wait. cheers Julian

I've been wondering what to do as a bit of a change after three 1/144 airliners. I considered (briefly) a 1/72 Valiant, then 1/48 Jaguar, F-16 and Meteor F8, before deciding I need another shelf before making any more big ones, so I've settled on this; the 1/72 Xtrakit Meteor night fighter to complement my collection of 50s RAF jets (and take up less shelf space to placate the missus!) I like Meteors, and there's something fascinating about these basic jets flying out of their bases in eastern England during the Cold War era. The east Anglian skies must have been filled with jets in those days. Here's the box and sprues. I'm assuming it's based on the Matchbox kit? That bag of bits is left over from the Matchbox Meteor I built a couple of years ago! Might come in handy. I still like my NF14, just needs an aerial fixing, but I'll see if I can make a tidier job of this one now I'm a bit more experienced. I was rather underwhelmed by the Xtrakit decals, especially given the plethora of bright markings from this era, so I treated myself to a set from ebay as they were only a fiver! Xtrakit: Any advice welcome!

Can anyone tell me which of these colours (or a different one?) would be best to achieve the camouflage colours on the Meteor night fighter in the photo? I'm assuming RAF dark green is ok (albeit satin, not gloss, but allowing for scale perhaps that's ok?) Not sure which grey is best. The ghost looks closer but the decal instructions say medium sea grey, yet it looks a bit dark to me.
