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.

My dad hasn´t done a British aircraft, at least with British markings, for a while. Now it was about time.
