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

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.

Thanks my friends, John, post office red ! Spiros and George, the red feels dry, still not game to mask it yet for the silver !
Allan J Withers said 2 months ago:
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 !
