Rod The Fixer Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Hi everyone, I started to assemble this aged (2002) Tamiya kit: by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr to make the White-painted Gloster Meteor F Mark III, EE239 of Squadron Leader D. Barry, No. 616 Squadron RAF (B58/Melsbroek, Belgium). Source: Imperial War Museum I found very useful info in these interesting posts: and A quick look inside the box: by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr A little question: I read that the original cabin was painted in black, it is right? BTW I'll use a Black Tire Colour because i think black is too dark... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Nato black myself as its pretty close to the same color you mention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
