81-er Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'd also welcome an extension. With the move next week I've got no hope of finishing either of my builds on time James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LorenSharp Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Good to Hear Dennis. I didn't think I was going to be able to attend this GB because of the short time left. There are some excellent examples of A Meteor NF.14.But I have a Sword version I would like to add to the mix if that's ok. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franky boy Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Excellent! An extension is welcome here to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Woohoo! And as I won't get the internet connected at the new place until the 25th (gotta love the lead times for a new install), I won't have any of that pesky interaction with the outside world to distract me from Meteors (I will still be able to post updates from work though ) James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Damn, here was I thinking I was off the hook, no chance of finishing before the 15th, phew, sometime during the year will be fine & now, presure, pressure, pressure, going to have to get my A into G. Thanks Enzo, I'll do my best. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Excellent news on the extension on this GB. I lost a bit of mojo around Christmas as we had a bereavement in the family so stuff to sort out but have begun to do decals and final painting/finishing stuff so I definitely will finish my first GB in over a year! Davey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulaero Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi all, Hopefully finding some knowledgeable meteor types here..... I am finding it difficult, nigh impossible to find any pictures of a 92 Sqn F8, other than the coronation machine with the yellow and red checks on the tail. I am wanting to do a standard sqn machine and have only found one grainy picture, not goo enough to make out the serials. Any suggestions kind regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hello @Paulaero .. Have you considered posting in cold-war aviation ? I think you will get more eyes on your question and a quicker answer. Off the top of my head @Graham Boak or possibly @canberra kid might have your answers ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions kind regards Paul Lindsay's Cold war Shield Vol 1 illustrates several 92 aircraft, albeit many in the 8L codes they used before they adopted the red/yellow checks. Examples with checks are WH403/Q, and WF646/Y Edited January 17, 2023 by Dave Fleming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

825 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I’ve posted my completed builds in the galleries and am continuing to work on the target tug version but I fear the complexity of the colour scheme will defeat me, as well as building the transfers from scratch. Though as a little taster this bright and chilly morning in the UK, here’s my completed trio all posing together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I got both Meteors finished today and they do make a handsome pair. Oddly I really enjoyed the Matchbox build but not so much the Airfix kit I felt it was trying to be too clever and fighting me at every step. A big thank you to my Co hosts and all the modellers on the forum who participated I think we’ve had s great Group build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
