  1. Hello folks, I am in the process of completing a Classic Airframes Meteor T.7. It has been a fight every step of the way but absolutely great fun and I am looking forward to showing-off the completed article. I have one issue: the cockpit. Classic Airframes provide some excellent resin parts, so I am tempted to model the aircraft with the canopy open. However, there is a paucity of photographs and drawings showing the interior, especially the gap between the front and rear cockpits. I came across the image below on Facebook and the lady is almost certainly in the front cockpit of a T.7. This answers one questin I had regarding what goes where but I wold be very grateful if anybody had images, or a link to images, of more shots showing this middle section. I would be most grateful for any guidance. Kind regards, Neil
  2. Thought I'd better get the ball rolling on this to go along with my Vampire T11 XH304 build. Basic kit is the MPM Meteor T7 Quick summery of what I've done so far. The MPM kit has a one piece canopy, going to build this canopy open so have mounted the kit canopy on a bit of balsa and made a cast of it for the first stage of making a vacuum mould for it. The resin cockpit insert of the MPM kit gives very little room to cut out a space to get the suggested 3g of weight in, so I've cast a custom shaped white metal weight to get the maximum use of the space. A mould was made of the nose of the insert and a cast made of it. From that cast a section was cut out was then made from it that weighed 0.5g this when cast in white metal will weigh 3.5 g. I then made a mould of the cut out and cast it from white metal. The white metal cast weighed 3.3g so wasn't far off. A corresponding cut out was made in the cockpit insert and the weight glued in with CA. Quick centre of gravity test today with blobs of white tack stuck in appropriate paces represent the 2.4g of the tail and 0.5g for the engine tailcones suggests it wont be a tail sitter and its balance point is just forward of the mainwheels. I asked on another thread if anyone had ever fitted the Eduard flaps intended for a Dragon /Cyberhobby meteor to the MPM wing but didnt get any answers however I did learn who Finbar Saunders is though. Ordered one anyway so will with a bit of plastic butchering I'll try and give it a go. Thanks for looking Mark
