    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.

    I'm going totally crazy. Since I planned to try out Alclad anyway (when I can spare the dosh for it), I decided to start an assembly line for all my NMF birds in Korean colours. This one is an F-86F-30-NA Sabre, formerly 52-4333, and brought into service by 2 Squadron SAAF as 361/N "Glow Worm". Go figure, it has a slatted wing, and apparently no 1/72 F-86F kit has the slatted wing, just the later 6-3 or 6-3 slatted wing. Fortunately, I found this handy guide to Sabres, so hopefully I'm up for the challenge of reducing wing chord (what the hell is chord?) and scribing in slats. I'm sure that will look amazing with an alclad finish. Oh, and I have to hope the Fujimi yellow ID bands work better than every other Fujimi decal I've ever had to use. Into ze bath: Despite the passage in 1951 of the charming Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act in South Africa, I'm intermingling props and jets in this bath! EAT IT, D F MALAN!

    Until I can score some Alclad II, Alclad-worthy primer, and a protective suit like they wear on Breaking Bad, I'll be working on this guy: It was a birthday present from my wife this year, and I have never built a full resin kit before, and I hate vacform canopies. Suffice it to say I'm scared crapless.
