Cold War GB - Revell 1/72 Gloster Meteor Mk.4 *FINISHED*

Post by TBPhoto »

Well, with my nearly finished Canberra, I have decided to start a new build along with my Mig. This will be the Revell 1/72 Meteor Mk.4 . I will hopefully get this one done quickly because I won't be airbrushing it, I have already done quite a bit, but here it is:
Box, Sprues, Decals and Instructions.
Image
Will be doing it in this scheme of 600 sqn
Image
Just a simple 'pit
Image
Fuselage and Horizontal Stabilisers glued
Image
Will be posting some more pictures later tonight :smile:

Wow you're flying with this mate.

When I did this kit I didn't enjoy the build, but you seem to be doing fine with yours. :clap:

Started the wheels too, which I will post a picture as soon as the are glued together tomorrow! You can probably tell that I am making this so quick by the state of the paint and some parts...

Overall a good build. Has to be one of your best build yet. I really do like the silver paint you used on this one.
