franky boy Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hi everyone I finished this one earlier in the week for the just finished 50's Nato v Warsaw pact GB. It's the recent Airfix Meteor FR-9 in 1/48 scale built straight out of the box with the exception some Brassin wheels. A very nice kit and typical of modern Airfix. Some of you may notice the blob of blue tac under the nose wheel as I didn't add enough weight as the only place to do this is behind the cockpit. You live and learn? Finished with Sovereign Hobby paints and in the colours of an aircraft from 2 squadron based at Gutersloh in 1953 using the kits decals. Thanks for looking. Questions and comments welcome as always.

Meatbox8 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Absolutely lovely. Beautiful paint finish ans one of the nicest schemes to adorn the Meteor. Come on Airfix, scale it down, you KNOW you want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
