Foxbat Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Jadlam had a sale on Revell not so long back, so I got the Meteor F.4 just because I didn't have one in the stash. I had no idea what it was going to be finished as, since me knowledge of the type was hovering around zero. Browsing Hannants I found these Kits-World decals and everything kind of fell into place. So my build will be Meteor F4, '464' operated by 3. Naval Air Flotilla, Royal Danish Naval Air Service, based at Karup, Jutland, 1950. First up, the obligatory box shot (not my box - my pic had a big white spot in the middle where the flash reflected): And here are the contents and decals: Hopefully this one is simple enough that even I can finish it.

stevehnz Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks Tony for those pics & Andy for doing this build, now I know what to do with this kit that I bought on a whim without knowing what to do with it, a Danish one in camo is perfect, a pity I've got too much in front of me to join in on this build.

MichaelSatin Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Interesting choice. Looking forward to the build! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Nothing to report as yet, apart from the fact I'm back from holiday and should have some progress to show you in the next couple of days. Those pictures are great Tony, thank you for them. The instructions say light grey blue for the undersides, but the accompanying picture looks like azure. It's a huge help having the real thing in front of me to match against. Andy Not in Poland any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Welcome back Andy,......looking forward to seeing this one,..........can I just say that the undersides are Medium Sea Grey, with Dark Sea Grey and Dark Green uppers, as per the standard RAF scheme.

Foxbat Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Well, I've made progress. I have a pair of outer wings and claggy mess that could pass for a cockpit - but only if viewed in a coal cellar at midnight I ran out of glue. Not a problem, there's still a model shop in Newcastle. He'd sold out of proper grown up stuff though and only had the little tubes. The one big department store I know still has a model department sold me a little yellow Humbrol thing that looks very nice. I can't actually get anything out of it though, so I resorted to the tiny Revel applicator I got in a starter set. That does actually let the glue out, but it's incredibly runny and gets everywhere. So, I've bitten the bullet and ordered some liquid cement in a bottle with a brush from the Big H. I've read warnings on t'interwebs about online emporia killing your local friendly model shop. Looks like it's happened when basic supplies become mail order only. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
