    Allan, @kalamazoo understandable- the Meteor does look great in 72nd scale. I just bought the PR9 version from Airfix.

    All that masking is needed, some removed to do some filling, still waiting for the red to dry completely !

    Looks great, Allan (@kalamazoo). Red is a tough color to work with, so lots of masking are in order, as well as letting it dry rock solid. Looking forward to the rest of the colors.

    The red needed a clean up, cleaned it back to the primer slightly, a light touch up a couple of days ago, seemed to be dry now so masking and a touch of primer ready for the silver, hope the tape comes off OK !
