VG 33 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hello Here is my last build with this 1/72 Special Hobby Gloster Meteor F. Mk.8 in the Syrian Air Force around 1956. Actually this is the old MPM / Xtrakit dated back to 2006 which was reissued this year with different markings about Middle Eastern Air Forces. I chose the Syrian one as I liked this scheme with light earth / dark green over blue. I used PRU blue because I saw a colour picture and it is consistent with most RAF fighters at the time which were dark sea grey / dark green over PRU Blue. But the discussion is open.

Kampartiger Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 That's a smashing looking Meteor. Btw the 'light Earth' that you have used seems perfect for it,not too stark in contrast with the green. Which colour did you used for that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
