Just need to add the prominent pitot tube and the underwing stores, bombs, I guess. Weirdly, the Fujimi kit seems to lack the swaybraces present on the droptanks of later F-86s and all SAAF examples I've seen.

The Meteor's soaking in the sink right now, in fact! I had a Sea Fury and a Firefly V in reserve, but I have three GR7s to build for the Harrier STGB, and then the D-Day GB, and then my impending nervous collapse, so it unfortunately seems unlikely I'll get to them.

Cripes Procopius; is any marketing actually getting done just at the moment?

It seems like you have a veritable airplane factory going up there. Keep it up and you may be able to get Lockheed and Boeing into a bidding war for it - they hate competition!

To sum up, you've built two P-51's, an F-86 and a sweet Seafire - all while learning to use Alcad and completing your first resin kit. I'd say that you've won April and May my friend.

I'm not sure about marketing, but there doesn't seem to be much sleep happening. I swear Mr Procopius posts at all hours during the day. :hmmm:

Lovely Sabre though, it's giving me a kick up the bum to get mine done. :)

I average between 4-5 hours of sleep per night on weeknights, and on weekends, I'm lucky to get eight before being woken by the croaking song of my wife's six doves.
