Graham T 1,503 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Great builds & conversions. The old Matchbox NF14 scrubs up pretty well shapewise I always think! Link to post Share on other sites

robgizlu 5,306 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Absolute stunners and really nicely finished The Matchbox kit has turned out particularly well Rob Link to post Share on other sites
Meatbox8 2,806 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 A beautiful collection of Meatboxes from a time when there weren't many decent kits of the type. There's some great conversion and re-scribing work on display here. Thankfully, for me at least, it is a lot easier to build a Meteor these days. Link to post Share on other sites
wellsprop 3,478 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Superb looking group of Meteors, I really like the 54 and 1 Sqn aircraft Link to post Share on other sites
binbrook87 2,273 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Fantastic... all of them... but that T7 is pretty special. You would never guess it's the old frog kit. Great work Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Poultney 4,937 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Like me and my Spitfires, 109s and soon Vulcans. Very very nice! Got an Airfix 1/48 one almost finished. Link to post Share on other sites
cngaero 1,608 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Now that's what I call a Meteor shower! Every single one is a stunner, although I do admit to having a soft spot for both the T7 and the NF14 types. Thank you for them all here. Link to post Share on other sites
