Meteor F(TT) Mk.8 RAF Tengah 1969


Recommended Posts

Latest build for the cabinet is the Airfix 1/48 Meteor F.8 done as an F (TT) Mk 8 from Tengah circa late 60’s. I used Eduard’s cockpit detailing set, Xtradecal’s sheet 48160 and I replaced the kits pitot tube with one from Master Models. Finished using Mr Color Paints, Alclad 11 & W+N varnishes and a Flory clay wash 50/50 Black and Medium. I’ve wanted to do this scheme for a long time and have to say it was an absolute joy to build and I thoroughly enjoyed it - hope it’s of interest. Next up might have to be one of Llanbedr’s Meteor U.16 Drones using the Alley Cat conversion kit.

Very nice build and choice of markings, well done.

 

I made the FR-9 version earlier this year and apart from the fit of the nose found the kit a joy to build.

Hello mate I meant to add that removing the locating lugs in the nose section makes lining it up with the fuselage a lot easier.
