theplasticsurgeon Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It's a great kit Julien, and I hope I showed you my build when you visited Jet Age. The first ever turboprop aircraft, we have one of its blades on display. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Great choice Julien probably the most interesting version of the Meteor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestialsphere Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Julien, I see on the MPM box art that one of the turboprops is feathered. Is that an ‘engine out’ asymmetric power test I wonder? Also that tail unit has a lot going on - extra finlets, two RAF fin flashes - it’s all happening! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I love the unusual and quirky and this definitely ticks those boxes looking forward to the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
