The Airfix Mustangs are driving me batty. So I took this out for a quick and painless build. Literally an hour in I was here.  And here I am now. Almost ready for paint.  |

That is fantastic! I still need to add a WWII era Meteor to my collection. This one looks magnificent already; it feels great having a model that goes together so fast and easy.

Yes, Looking real good so far! That is fantastic! I still need to add a WWII era Meteor to my collection. This one looks magnificent already; it feels great having a model that goes together so fast and easy. What is that Mark?! You don't have a Meteor in your extensive aircraft collection?  |

To be honest Carlos, no! I wish I did! There are several aircraft I haven't done: F-94; KC-10, C-97 among others.....

Finally got the time to spray the white, which from my reading weathered fairly quickly.  |

Nicely done paint work over your pre-shade. It has a great weathered look to it!

Looks really good TJ.
How did it build up? I've been thinking of getting one of the CH Meatboxes as I'd like to do a WWII Version.

I've been looking for the F.I with no luck. One thing is I don't think I out enough weight in the nose. It falls back if you breathe on it |

Nice looking model. I've been doing the Meteor in 1/48 with Airfix and Tamiya kits. I have the F.1 prototype, the F.3, and the F.8 done. Classic Airframes Kit in the stash for the NF 11/13. Guess I need the Sword NF.14, right?

Hard to do white so nicely. Great job. I think I finally figured that out. Flat white sprays much easier then gloss white. I have a TA-4 I've been fighting with for a year with gloss white. I'm now gonna spray it flat then gloss it. |
