    Pete's Airfix 1\48 meaty gloster meteor finished

    I will call time on this one an enjoyable kit put together I think I may have rushed a little as I destroyed a few decels.


    The decels are a tad fragile so be warned as Mr ham fisted here can vouch for this.


    I haven't put all the decels on as there are far to many small ones for my eyes.


    But I hope you like it.

    That looks really good Peter, very clean which shows off those graceful Meteor lines.

        I highly recommend this kit as it can be turned in to a real stunner that's if you have an airbrush

            Nice one Peter.


            i know what you mean about the decals, I think it took me longer to do the decals on my 1/48th Harrier than build it.

                      Really nice, Peter. The detailing with the open panels is a great feature. I too would buy one of these if I weren't completely dedicated to 1/72!

                          Looks great Peter, can't go wrong with a silver Meteor   How did the kit go together?

                            I had no issues really just wing root gaps and the IP decel needs cutting on the left of centre

                              Great job Peter. The engine on display is a nice touch.
