BritJet's 2016 output

Well done. You have got more Meteors than a pork pie shop.

A wonderful, colourful, selection Steve with some very unusual subjects.  Excellent work!

Thanks, it's still a bit tight when I go down stairs but is getting better all the time. I just need to keep doing the exercises.

22 so far! I've got kits for another 20 - there are just so many versions and colour schemes I want to do. Canberras are the same.........

 

Just remembered some more Meteors from the beginning of the year;

 

Frog Meteor F4 with the Alley Cat U15 conversion

 

 

Airfix boxing of the MPM Meteor F8 with the Alley Cat U16/U21 conversion

I've still got 6 maybe 9 that I'll get finished before the New Year.

These will be the last for this year, the other three need too much doing to them and I don't want to rush them;

 

Airfix Meteor F3 temporary white scheme for operations in Europe at the end of WWII

 

 

Xtrakit Meteor NF14 Empire Test Pilots School, home made decals

 

 

Maintrack Gloster E1/44 first prototype - low set tail

 

 

Maintrack Gloster E1/44 second prototype - tail later used on the Meteor F8

 

Spot-On Hawker P1128 Huntsman, 1950s executive jet project, home made decals

 

 

Modelsvit Tupolev Tu-91

 

 

That makes 41 this year, it wouldn't have been anywhere near that many without my time off work. As useful as it was for making a dent in the stash I wouldn't recommend the idea to anyone........

 

Thanks for looking and Happy New Year.
