VG 33 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Hello Here is my finished 1/72 FRROM Meteor T. Mk 7 in Israeli defense Force guise in 1956. This particular aircraft was one of the few which were fitted with a camera under the fuselage to become a recce bird. I reproduced that from a picture of a museum aircraft which could have been farther modified for preservation. I have followed advices for the upper part of the canopy as this is not the same as the NF Meteor canopy. I sanded the second and fourth frames above and reproduced them inside by means of decal stripes. I could not do the same for the side windows of the windscreen as this is too tiny around. Here is the WIP : https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235098944-azur-frrom-meteor-t-mk-7/ And then the pictures.

Doc72 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Looks great! The recce-conversion makes it particularly interesting. What paint did you use for the High Speed Silver? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Valerii, but it is not exactly natural aluminium as "High Speed Silver" used to be a paint. Patrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jason Thank you Jason Operation Mousquetaire / Musketeer is very interesting as it was exceptional that British and French armed forces worked so closely in one thousand years 😄 Patrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
