Special Hobby 1/72 Gloster Meteor “World Speed Record”
Hi There,
A small diversion form building for Innis by sticking together one for myself.
Primed with Mr. Hobby Finishing Surfacer White,
Painted with Colourcoats RAF/FAA Yellow, Xtreme Metals Aluminium and Tamiya rubber Black. Finished with Alclad Aqua Gloss.
This one isn’t quite finished but I’m off on the Night Shift for a bit so I’ll clean the gray wash off a bit more and touch up the canopy.
Thanks for looking,
Alistair

What a great paint scheme, Alistair (@alistairfgauld). It is nice to see a Meteor in something other than camouflage. Well done!

It was the scheme that grabbed me too.
Cheers,
Alistair

Hi Alistair. That is a very nice paint scheme. It makes me want to paint the one is my stash in The colours of a Belgian Air Force target drone tug.
Just do do something different besides the usual.
Thank you.

I’d go for it just for the fun of it.

This Meteor really looks like Speed Record plane in this scheme.
Well done, Alistair.

Congratulations Alistair!
This is a wonderful build and an equally wonderful scheme!

Hi Spiros,
It’s a really nice scheme but I fear the build doesn’t do it justice.
You win some, you lose some.
Cheers,
Alistair
