Gloster Meteor F.8, 19 squadron, July 1952


Recommended Posts

The Airfix Club Kit issue of the MPM 1/72 kit. Also issued by Hannants under their Xtrakit name

One of the two schemes supplied in the Airfix Club Kit

Painted with Xtracolor High Speed Silver

That is a nice paint and I'm running out - and so has Hannants, at the moment

I've got this in my stash, how is it to build?

I found you need to put sprue spreaders in the centre of the fuselage to keep it wide enough to fit the wings

Its fairly straight forward but I used a fair amount of fillers on it;

The wheel yokes join to the oleo legs; this might look a bit daunting but take care, dry fit, then dry fit, then glue them
