This is definitely one that calls out for Cold War Era groundcrew in 1/48th, can you imagine them swarming all over this one carrying out an Operational Turn-Rond during one of the big exercises?

Well done to Airfix! That's another kit winging its way to the south coast!

Interesting the built up kit is 74 Sqn, but the kit is 11 and 85.

Those are 111 Sqn markings (although I suspect that's what you meant).

I guess the kit decals aren't ready yet.

Hmmm, no Korean War camouflage ? :(

You have to leave something for the aftermarket.

I suspect most would prefer RAF/RAuxAF markings TBH - they're more colourful after all!

The first new Xtradecal for the Meteor F.8 is now on our web site. Pictures due soon. And more sheets will follow. You are right, there are an awful lot of schemes/squadrons that could be done. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X48158. And don't forget this one has been available for some years and there are still a few left https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X48043. It was used on the Airfix model at Nuremberg, the kit does not include 74 Sqn, it will have 85 and 111 Sqns.

David, I hope it is only a typo on your site, but Korean Kid was A77-316 not A77-116 as described in the product entry for your new sheet. That aside the fact there are two nice RAAF Korean War options on the sheet is great news.

Cheers,

Ken

Excellent! Could I request you upscale 72114? That'd keep me busy for the rest of eternity!!
