Gloster Meteor

Tamiya 1/48 Meteor F.3

Tamiya's excellent Meteor F.3 kit comes with a nose weight and is accurate with respect to the depiction of aircraft features. The only problem that I had with the kit were the decals that were resistant to various solvent agents.

1/72 Airfix Meteor F8

I’ve made quite a few of the new Airfix kits, mostly the 1/72 models, and this is the best one they’ve put out of those. Outstanding fit, very good detail, the best panel line size in this scale for Airfix, and great decals. I did add [...]

Airfix 1/72 Gloster Meteor FR.9 Club Edition

A nice, if tricky little kit. The tolerances are very tight and not being too precise with the placement of some of the early parts makes it a little harder further down the line. In saying that it goes together well and builds up [...]

1/48 Gloster Meteor PR.10

My Meteor is a mix of Classic Airframes FR.9 and Tamiya F.1.

Gloster Meteor Mk4 Fuerza Aérea Argentina – MPM 1/72

Hi guys! This is the Gloster Meteor Mk4 Fuerza Aérea Argentina. Represented as it was on March 1959, from the Grupo 2 de Caza Interceptora. The kit has some nice addings of PE and resin, but was at least difficult on the assembly. Was [...]

Gloster Meteor F.8 at Försökscentralen

The Försökscentralen (Test & Evaluation squadron) is a lesser known part of the Swedish air force. It tests flying materiel, tactics and equipment. Although it probably got less money in the budge than Pentagon use for paperclips in [...]

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 [...]

A Meteor's Engine

While struggling with completion of Airfix' Gloster Meteor F.8 the included Derwent is a model in itself. It's not bigger than 20 mm x 35 mm but certainly will be an eye catcher on the side. Finnished in Vallejo colours throughout and a [...]

Airfix 1/48 Gloster Meteor F.8

Nice Airfix model, except of nose cone mounting everything was smooth. Hope you like it. Cheers!
