Davek72 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Quick update. I have been in India for the last week so lots of curry but no modelling. I have however continued my discussion with Nigel at Hannants. Seems all their examples of this kit have the wrong wing. Emails have been sent to MPM. In the meantime I have ordered the Revell kits so I can hopefully still finish this build in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Happy Christmas everyone. As I am being allowed 5 mins sit down I thought I'd post an update. The Revell F4 has arrived. Finally I have the correct wing to build the MPM F4. Now 15 days to get this done... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It must be to do with our choice of subject. I've very little to show so far either Good luck BTW the Caruna drawings aren't too good, the Warpaint ones are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davek72 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Ok moving forward now. Fuselage together and wings one. A few seams to tidy up but looking more like a meteor now. Canopy masked. Wing tip together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) congrats! turned out very nice! I like the tanks ! I think every Meteor is a tail-sitter mine is just not, but when blinking an eye (or taking a photo for that matter) its again on its tail....... I don't know how they did it on the real plane Edited January 10, 2016 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I beieve that Argentina's Meteors were diverted from an RAF contract to pay off the UK's debt for meat supplied during WW2. The government could not afford to pay the debt back as the UK was all but broke. Nice to see an under represented air force modelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how they did it on the real plane Thanks exdraken. She was not the easiest of builds but not unpretty at the end. Wish I could work out how to photo her properly.

I have a hankering to model every Argentine plane I can find as a project. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
