Julien Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Airfix's new 1/48 Meteor F.8 The kit is extremely good, there is some Eduard PE on the seat, and the only kit part replaced was the pitot tube by one from Master. The decals are for WK722 "A" 601 (County of London) Sqn Royal Auxiliary Air Force approx 1953 at RAF North Weald. Decals thanks to @Jon Kunac-Tabinor from Marmaduke Press Decals which are some of the best I have used to date. The seat, not that you can see a lot under the canopy? 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 That ejection seat could easily pass for 1/16 scale. Just incredible. Very nice build, great finish and I do like the markings. Colorful but not overdone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris the scheme was chosen for me as the build is for one of the guys I do aircraft restoration with, he did some history work for the 601 Sqn association. I am more a fan of the camo aircraft, though saying that after building this one the HSS aircraft do look very good indeed. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
