Hello

 

I have just finished this couple of Special Hobby Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF.

 

First here is the NF Mk.11 in French colours when assigned to CITT 346 (Centre d'Instruction Tout Temps - All Weather Instruction Center) at Tours AFB in the 1960s. At the time this squadron was the advanced training unit for all weather fighting and was equipped with Meteor Mk.7 & Mk.11 in addition to some SNCASO Vaitour II. Camouflage is Medium Sea Grey and Dark Green, with a little light blue-grey on the radome and to mask a previous unit code.

Secondly is a Meteor NF Mk.12 from No.64 Squadron at RAF Duxford in 1957. This one is camouflaged in Dark Sea Grey and Dark Green over Medium Sea Grey.

Building these kits was quite easy with the fuselage. The wings were more difficult to assemble particularly around the engine nacelles. The paints came from Tamiya and Gunze acrylics range.
