here is my latest,the AMT meteor mk1 with V1.Bought it from the newark expo for ยฃ1,no box.Basically an accurate airframe but terrible undercarriage and cockpit,what can you do?.........scratch build a cockpit put in a pilot(courtesy of ICM pilots +groundcrew) and have it in flying mode.Then i did a bit of research and decided to model it with the V1 supplied. I made the base out of mdf and tried to make it look like farmland from about 500 feet up. The subject is 616 sqn meteor mk1, YQ-E ,flown by flying officer derek "dixie" dean .On august 4th flying from manston,kent,fo dean intercepted a v1 flying bomb,near ashford ,attempting to destroy it using his cannons.The cannons jammed and rather than let it go fo dean decided to tip the v1 out of control using his wingtip.He succeeded and became the first person to destroy a v1 in this manner,also the first victory for a meteor. thanks go to stona for the help regarding the acrylic rod. any comments welcome(ie whats that pipe cleaner doing on the v1!!!??)
