neilfergylee Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hello folks, I am in the process of completing a Classic Airframes Meteor T.7. It has been a fight every step of the way but absolutely great fun and I am looking forward to showing-off the completed article. I have one issue: the cockpit. Classic Airframes provide some excellent resin parts, so I am tempted to model the aircraft with the canopy open. However, there is a paucity of photographs and drawings showing the interior, especially the gap between the front and rear cockpits. I came across the image below on Facebook and the lady is almost certainly in the front cockpit of a T.7. This answers one questin I had regarding what goes where but I wold be very grateful if anybody had images, or a link to images, of more shots showing this middle section. I would be most grateful for any guidance. Kind regards, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably a Mk.8 cockpit with an ejection seat, while it's the bit behind the front seat that I'm after and, so far, Google has steadfastly not been my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Neil, I might have a photo taken from the rear seat looking forward. The plane was Svensk Flygtjänst's T.7 converted for the target towing role. If you are interested PM me. Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timo Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hi Neil If you need more info, the JetAge Museum at Gloucestershire Airport has a T7 in its collection - Meteor T7 WF784 Maybe you could try e-mailing them to see if they can provide walkaround pics.
