Dmitry Stelmakh Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Hello! here's one of my model for today. The model is easy and pleasant in the assembly. There is only one problem you need to put a lot of load on the nose. The center of gravity is shifted far back. Therefore, it is necessary to load a lot. All other problems in the assembly are related to my inattention. In the assembly used a of photo-etching set/ Paint- tamiya.

galgos Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Superb work, great attention to detail and excellent painting/weathering. Hard to believe that's only 1/72 especially with all the stencils, I found that hard enough in 1/32nd!! Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I was, at first, baffled by the engine nozzles as they looked like they belonged to an F1 then I read that the first F3s had wellend engines so I presume that it is one of these. Am I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That is a fabulous looking Meteor and very well painted Dmitry, It looks so well done that I thought it was at least 1:48 scale - hard to believe that it's only 1:72 ... WOW, very well done indeed!! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Lovely to see this as just about to undertake a 1/72 Meteor myself. I really like what you've achieved with the paint finish and weathering. Did you find much weathering visible in photos of operational F.3s (as opposed to the rather sad condition of some Meteors on display today) ? I'm building an NF.14 and these seem to have been pretty well maintained in squadron use, with little visible signs of wear and tear. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
