stevej60 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Oooh this one did a low pass over the bin yesterday! The worst part of this kit for me has always been the one piece wheel/u/c,both main wheels snapped while fitting them as there's a weak point at the knuckle.Anyway I thought no,wheel's up on the stand will suffice but by the time I removed the already fitted doors they were no use to man nor beast so out came the flexi filler.you can see the front bay sanded smooth I'll tackle the other's later today,now where's that pilot gone? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Great save Steve. I wouldn’t be too fussed about a pilot, after all Airfix pilots fly with their hands on their legs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Glad to see that she pulled up from the bin at the last minute Steve! The filler has done the trick on covering up the wheel wells and she will look great on a stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Morning folk's,this one is fighting all the way,the decal's were for want of a better word sh**e, off register white edges meant hitting the spares box which is getting sparse for roundels etc,one of the codes broke up so I need to cobble them together as I did on the fuselage roundel and tail flash.Not a pleasure at all! But we're here. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Sorry to hear about your decal problems Steve, looks like your spares box had it covered though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Every pleasure demands a pain. I can certainly feel your pain with some of these old decals, you never know how the things are going to perform! If you had not told us, we would never have guessed there were problems though, the Meteor looks the Dogs Danglers from here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
