binbrook87 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hello all I pulled this one from the shelf of doom where it been sitting for over 12 months. It must be the first 1/48 aircraft I've built for over 5 years and a despite a few tricky areas around the nose fitment it was a thoroughly enjoyable build. I tend to favour 1/72 and 1/144 aircraft models but boy do the larger scales have more impact when completed! I just find that handling for painting and storage can be a little tricky at times. Anyway here she is. Built completely OOB, with paints from Tamiya and Vallejo. W&N matt varnish to finish off. Little bit annoyed with the decal film on the underwing serials which despite much microsol failed to disappear! Thanks for looking comments always much appreciated (good or bad... haha!) 50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mukund SB Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Looking Nice is all i know. I don't know anything about aircrafts but enjoy looking at them 😃 .... Bought a few over the years but yet to muster courage to really build one...... Crisp and Clean build. I like it. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Very nice! A Meteor is still on the small size! I suggest you build a Canberra PR.9 next in 48th! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Fantastic work! I very much like this short-lived camouflage scheme (Light Slate Grey, Medium Sea Grey and PRU Blue, isn`t it?) What paints did you use for these colors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the following acrylics...... Tamiya XF83 for the Medium Sea Grey Vallejo Model Color 70.886 (101) for the light slate grey Vallejo model air 71.109 for the PRU blue. Hope that helps 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Very nice build. And very clean, as befits the Post War RAF with lots of national Servicemen with time on their hands... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
