That's some nice clean painting Ian! With your re-scribing it looks how a new-tool Meteor would look

Thanks Patrick

Looking good, Ian. The slot for the stand brings back some memories!

Thanks Doug


And it's been quite a few years since I've put the slot in for the stand

Looks great Ian, very nice paint work. Always the way isn't it, you run out of the paint for which you only need a little of.

That's coming along very nicely

Thanks Joe. But I didn't run out of the Duck egg green I just didn't have any at all, silly me didn't look at the colour call out.

Got this all painted now and put the decals on. They are what you would expect for some 40 odd year old decals,


So I'm not sure if I'm allowed to get some more or I have to just use these with it being a from the 70s GB

I'd think you really need a replacement set Ian. Surely the decals don't have to be from the 1970s, many of them would have been damaged badly over that time.

Think your right Joe just that I can't seem to find any F3 decals may have to go for a set of F8

You could replace the codes with letters from Xtradecal sheet 'X72189' available from Hannants for £4.99. There are also sheets of roundels and fin flashes in the Xtradecal range. I've got several sheets in 1/48.

Looks great, poor old decals. And would you believe it, last weekend, one flew over my house.

[papa 695]

Got a new set of decals today, they look a lot better than the first set

I'd needed to get 2 sets Dave there are only 2 Q's and I would need 4
