A2Zee is preparing in the Alley Cat range (?) 1/48th Gloster Meteor F.Mk.4 and T.Mk.7 resin conversion sets.

NF. variants being also looked at. 

Conversion sets for Tamiya Meteor F.Mk.III or Airfix F.Mk.8?

Source: http://www.alleycatmodels.co.uk/

To be followed

It says "the new Meteor" so has to be the Airfix F.8. No-one would call the Tamiya kit "new".

Furthermore, if the F.4 conversion contains clear parts that proves it's for the Airfix kit because an F.4 has the same canopy as an F.3, but a different one from an F.8

Good news! A T.7 has been on my "want" list for quite some time - there are a few aeroplanes I think look (even) better as two-seaters and the Meteor is one of them.

The Classic Airframes kit is old and rare and therefore in my opinion way too expensive for what you get compared to today's standard. I was actually starting to think about making a T.7 myself someday...

I'll tell you what, with the PR9 nose the Alleycat F4 tail and the easy addition of a couple of rounded wingtips  you are more than well on your way to a PR10!

Did this set ever get released?

I'm probably going to sound like a broken record now, but it amazes me what isn't available for some kits.

Dont think its released yet.

It's on his website to order but without a price. Just sent them a message to see if it's available yet.
