1/72 - Gloster Meteor T.Mk.7 by Special Hobby - released - new boxing

[Graham Boak]

In view of the fascinating range of less-common subjects Azur/FRROM have created, I think this is a disappointment.  Maybe they need money.

A - IMHO over-over-weathered - build model.

V.P.

What makes it even more inappropriate (I was going to say "worse") is that the "weathering" doesn't go across the markings as it would on a real aeroplane.

Five dollars more in Hannants than the Xtrakit boxing of the same Special Hobby plastic. It all comes down to the decal selection, then.

The Meteor looks absolutely gorgeous in red!

[Meatbox8]

Lovely box art. One of these would contrast nicely with the all blue mk.7 1/2. Sans weathering, mind you.

[Meatbox8]

I'm hoping there will be a release of this kit with parts and markings to convert it to the two operated by Martin Baker.

Blue Rider Decals can help you along the way

Nice Dutch option. 

 

As a side note, the yellow badge with the black scorpion of RAE option #2 in the intitial boxing looks like the emblem of KLu squadron 325.

 

Cheers,

Yes. I believe the aircraft got 'zapped' by 325 sqd somewhere.

Looks like another irrational ‘I don’t need it, when would I build it but I just love the box art’ kit purchase coming up!
