Terry1954 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I was about to ask the same! Presumably you have a Frog Meteor IV and the bits left over from the other kits you mention? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I converted it to a U 15 drone: https://www.flickr.com/photos/21603181@N08/8141660028/in/photolist-JooYQU-Jcnavp-H1akjQ-stL6m9-svTjrC-rnJ8Ap-qxfJJ7-qhYYgY-oUS6T5-nJypAH-nXj2t8-dpsbn9-dps8SL-q9J9Rd-998nhc modelldoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any links to conversion articles welcome Cheers M.M. Many moons ago, pre Matchbox NF, I converted mine to an NF.14 using Airmodel bits but trust me, you do not want to go there. And I got the nose length wrong thanks to all the erroneous publications of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 It would make a nice Mk lV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the bits left over you can't easily convert to any NF variant or F8 or T7 as the fuselage was longer on these, and it would mean a lot of work. Aside from these extra kit parts you could maybe build the sole PR5 (which crashed on its maiden flight!) with the addition of a recce nose and some fuselage camera windows, or backdate it to a late F3 by modifying the jetpipes?

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 You could always build it down in the Frog group build. @JOCKNEY would be happy to see it I'm sure. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/663-frog-squad-gb/ Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
