petetasker Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 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. 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky boy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 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. James 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 That's really nice. Can't wait to see the Llanbedr drone if it's anything like as well modelled as this example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Beautiful workmanship and a fine model. I love pretty much anything with yellow and black stripes underside, and this is a great scheme for this subject. Superb. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilfish Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 You've done the Meteor proud. Scary to think that I was at Tengah the same time as this Meteor.....except I was only 2.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 An excellent looking Meteor. Great paint finish. Masking those black stripes must have been fun! Very tempted to emulate this in 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
