stevej60 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hi folk's,built for the Matchbox GB is the much unloved Meteor,this kit must have scarred many a youngster (me for one) probably the most challenging of their 1/72 range at last although it would't win any competitions I've beaten that demon that has haunted me for many year's. 36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invidia Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Great looking model, done a great job on an old kit. It's a NF11/12, the NF14 had a different canopy and nose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinChipmunkfan Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 A nice model from a Matchbox kit that is a bit of a pig's ear. Well done Steve. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually a NF11, the NF12 had a longer fuselage! NF 11=short fuselage, framed canopy. NF 13 =Tropicalised NF 11. NF 12=Longer Fuselage with framed canopy. NF 14 =NF 12 Fuselage with clear view bubble canopy, (no, it wasn't longer than the NF12!). Selwyn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairtrigger Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Great result .....I used to love the old Matchbox kits. Where did you source this Steve? @bay was it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterburns Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I remember this kit being bad, but the one I remember being the worst was the Tornado F.3. I'm pretty sure you could see the trenches from space. The worst part was they weren't even straight trenches. It looked like it had been done freehand with a soldering iron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackroadkill Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Great to see you've beaten the Most Evil Kit In The World TM; I'm still hacking my way through mine, despite being convinced that I'd have nailed it in a couple of sessions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
