Suez Crisis...1/48 Gloster Meteor F.8 Israeli Airforce - NEW PICS ADDED


Recommended Posts

#1/2017

So, finally also my dad has finished his first model in the new year, continuing the Near/Middle East theme with an IAF Meteor that fought during the Suez Crisis in 1956. The Meteors were Israel´s first jet aircraft, therefore they served in the No.117 Squadron, also called the "First Jet Squadron".

Airfix kit, Isradecals, Vallejo Metal Color Aluminium, antennas on spine are scratch.

 the Vallejo paint has come out really well.

thanks!

yes, the Vallejo metal color line seems to be a good alternative to Alclad, troublefree to work with and also usable with a normal brush

missed this one obviously!!!! :banghead:

 

 

great model! (but I'd prefer the first photo shoot's results somehow! better focus? longer lense?)

 

 

 

Camera and lense are the same, maybe due to different lighting and angles and more space now the pics look slightly different. Because of the limited space of the lightcube I moved closer to the model with the camera.

Really lovely.  Question...how much weight was needed in the nose?

Can't remember, was something mentionend in the Airfix instructions? If so my dad added a bit more, if not it was with gut feeling. What I can say is that the model is now very nose heavy 🙂

 Just beautiful!! One of my favourite aircraft. 

 I'm heading to Israel  in a couple of weeks and this has put me in an accelerated mood to get there. Again, great job.

If you can, make time for a trip to the Air force museum at Hatzarim (near Beer Sheeva). I've never seen so many Meteors in one place.

A very nice, and very different take on the Airfix Meteor, I've got a couple in the attic but they aren't near the top of the build pile.

Excellent job, well done.

 

thank you very much
