Fishbed Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've had this lurking about for several years, and entropy was slowing taking control. It reached the point of finish or ditch, so I finished it. Left the plans for extra detail, different markings, etc etc etc in the to-do pile. As you can see, I could not find a match for the original grey so the canopy is slightly different (paint mix changed over the years?) My excuse is that it has had a new canopy fitted for some reason. Comments correction welcome (not that I'm likely to make any changes now ) Must find some new material to use as a back-drop. This lots a bit creased now! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 That looks fantastic and I can accept it has had a new canopy fitted 'in service'. Great weathering. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme H Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 What a beauty, really nice, glad to see you peservered with it. Don't worry about the wrinkles on the background, next to the wifes IPad and IPhone, there is a thing called an IRon, eliminates wrinles easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasticbutcher Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Stunning build there, I finished one of theses lately and to get it to that standard is an great accomplishment, well done, very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayprit Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Really nice build, captures the feel of the aircraft............I love the canopy change. Know how you feel when you look at the shelf of doom and each month/year a part completed model gets pushed further back on the shelf. I am glad you reserected it, leaves room for another model to enter "the shelf of doom" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius at Home Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 That looks superb. I like the contrast between the canopy and the weathered airframe and Suez stripes. Great work!!! Darius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasicModelling Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 A beauty.. I'm not a fan of heavily weathered aircraft, but this Meteor looks just right... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pte1643 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I like that a lot. Love the long nose Birdcage Meteors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thumbs up from me! Done this stunning aircraft proud. I will make one myself one day, no doubt, and thinking forward still, a Buccaneer. Those two aside I imagine would make a lovely display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatcliffeDemon Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Strange looking plane but nicely built up. Those Suez stripes really finish it off nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
