Piotr Mikolajski Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Special Hobby  The upcoming SH72437 A.W. Meteor NF Mk.11 'RAF Squadrons' 1/72 scale model will offer four machines. As the name suggests, all in RAF colours. Two of the machines operated from home bases, the other two flew behind our own high blue wall. They operated from bases in West Germany. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I’ve so far bought the nf12 and 14. Both are really nicely detailed kits. I’ll definitely be bagging the nf11 as soon as it’s available.  James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Â I am as much a sucker for a civilian-registered Meteor as a military one, with the factory T.7 and T.7.5 civi schemes already in progress, so am going to have to add that to my already-large MPM / SH Meatbox stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I’ll have to get one of those to do as WM245, the one my father in law flew from the UK to Seletar and then spent a couple of years exercising the Far East Fleet with. best, M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_C Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 What are the differences between NF.11 and NF.13? I understand NF.13 has couple underside intakes for air conditioner. Any other external differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air scoops being the most difficult part. The whole canopy is transparent in SH kit so the perspex fairing could be done with just masking. All those aerials... even if SH gives us a set of plastic sticks - I'd replace them with wire of varied thickness anyway.  Couple of Quickboost scoops for 3 quid + a set of appropriate decals is what we need.  BTW Happy New Year to all the modellers of the world Edited December 31, 2023 by Dennis_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

politicni komisar Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Once again he checked really on sprue A. Parts 8 and10 but very poor quality. I have a lot of books about the Meteor, but even Israeli books are poorly visible.  Samo/P.k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
