1/48 Airfix Gloster Meteor F.8, Danish Air Force


Recommended Posts

The first entry of this year! I like to build classic Cold War jets in Scandinavian colours like Swedish Spitfires, Norwegian F-16s, Danish Starfighters and Finnish MiG-21s. So when Airfix released the Meteor T.8, it was a welcome addition to my stash - and now also to my collection of finished models!

Most of it is built OOB, with Stoppel Hobby decals. I only added some details on the engine and the seat. A nice kit, highly recommended!

Seatbelts and cushions from whisky bottle foil.

Nice work! Hope it was a nice single malt whisky.

Wondeful Meteor :worthy: ... I didn't know the Dane’s used them. Always a good day when you learn something. 

Stoppel also make decals for Danish F Mk 4s in 1/72 - something to consider if I opt to do another Revell one.
