Redstaff Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Meteor F8 , WK803, 56 squadron RAF Waterbeach 1953 for the NATO v Warsaw pact 50s GB Built from the Airfix 1/48th kit, painted in Tamiya AS12 with decals sourced from a Classic airframes kit and a light Flory wash to finish off. Some fit issues with the intakes and especially nose, but on the whole a nice kit I would recommend Would have been kept clean as it was used on the Queens coronation flypast. Need to sort out a proper setting to take decent pics. rather than phone pics at some point Thanks for looking, any feedback or tips welcome Ian 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcNewitt Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Always love a Waterbeach bird, especially a meatbox. If only that base had stayed open it would be my local. Lovely build! Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated When I saw a pic of the original a while ago I thought that scheme fits the Meteor perfectly, took me a while to source the decals but thanks to some kind members on here I finally got hold of some, and the sun really sets them off I want to try and get a representation of 56 squadron aircraft through the years and this is another ticked off the list Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
