Meteor F8 decals for 'Winston'

Quick question; are there any decals to make the 1 TWU Meteor 'Winston' from the 1/48 Airfix kit?

 

I'm assuming this aircraft may have had a few different aerials, etc to the 50's Meteors too.

Hi

I don't think the aerial fit was very different in the latter years to that which was fitted in the 1950s, the only exception being possibly the VHF blade type aerial on the upper fuselage. One other thing to remember though is that the DSG/Dk Green camo pattern on Winston was reversed to the standard for the F.8, the reasons for which escape me now. No idea about 1/48 decals but I built Winston in 1/72 some years ago from the MPM kit using a sheet from Xtradecal I believe. Here's a picture I took of the model just after I built it.

Good luck finding what you need.

Hi,

 

For decals there is the recent FCM set.

 

There also used to be a Kits At War decal sheet, long out of production though!

Been out of the loop for a while, glad some finally produced some 615 Sqn decals with a little serial  chopping you can make VZ467.

Did this airframe have any anomalies from a standard F8?.

What was the common parked position of the control surfaces and airbrakes.
