trickyrich Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Beauty! IsraDecal did a sheet for IAF Meteors. If you can find one of those too, you're off to the races! Michael took me forever but I managed to get a CA Meteor NF.11/13 from South Africa, actually wasn't that expensive compaired to some of the prices I've seen for ones previously sold on evilbay! plus got some Barracuda Big Bore intakes, so that should put an end to the horrible intake joins! Have spents hour trolling the net for the Isradecal sheet, think that'll be the hardest to find....but have a cunning backup plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyverns4 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Oh, go on then. It will be either; F.4 Argentine Air Force T.7 Brazilian Air Force F.8 Brazilian Air Force Assorted night fighters All in 48 and how difficult is the Classic Airframes series to build...?

MichaelSatin Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Christian, Actually I've built the F8 and thought it wasn't too bad. The nose gear is quite fragile and needs to be treated carefully but as I recall there are some build reviews on the usual suspect websites with some good ideas how to handle that. The fronts of the intakes can be difficult around the seam areas, but not impossible IMHO. I plan on probably building another for this STGB (unless I'm burned out by then in which case a Tamiya F.3). Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi All After the assistance I've received elsewhere on this forum I've got a bit of a Meteor thing going on. I'll be in for this. In 1/48th either; Trent Meteor Very late long nacelle F3 (I'd like to do 92 Squadron Paul Brickhill's unit as I really enjoy The Great Escape book AND film) Any assistance on markings appreciated! Argentine F4 Depending on how the Muse takes me! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We're just over a month away from the start, I've got my kit. Matchbox I've got the Model Art decals for an RN TT20. However the Matchbox kit is bereft of descent cockpit detail. Does on of you knind chaps have any good pics or an illistration with which to fashion the pits? Thanks in advance.

Truro Model Builder Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hmm, I have a few assorted Meatboxes in the stash. I'd rather like to take one out of the pile and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magua87 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My build will be this - as an NF13. Jet Age's NF13. I'm tempted to join you. I've got an old Matchbox NF 11/12/14 under the bed. I could try my hand at an NF14. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 WS774 from a Matchbox kit is documented here. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1331-meteor-triple-header/ I built 3 copies for the members og the restoration team. My decals came mostly from spares - mine and other modellers'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
