malpaso Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Here's the other plane I built in a week for the local RAFA's centenary event. A straight build of the Frog Meteor from the late 60s. The decals laid down superbly, the silver finish is Tamiya Matt aluminium with Klear over. The walkways were set out on black paint with 0.7mm tape before spraying the silver. Obviously with more time I would have attacked the seams a bit more rigorously but overall I'm quite pleased with the first Frog I've built straight. The only problem that came up was that I didn't clean the airbrush properly after the silver so ended up with sparkly camouflage when vanishing my Spitfire Vb! Subsequently I threw the somewhat battered box in the recycling. My wife rescued it to decorate the kitchen! Cheers Will 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 A week you say - crikey! And I assume they are the original FROG decals - they seem to have gone on rather well. I have one in the stash and the decals are yellowed and curled up but those squadron colours are not available anywhere else as far as I can determine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Will, nice straight forward job that looks the goods. Well done. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
