Title: Gloster Meteor Mk 7 in 1/144 Scale ......................(Completed 24 Mar 2012)
Post by: lastvautour on January 05, 2012, 08:09:09 PM
Started this Meteor when Barry started his 1/32 Scale version. The MK 7 was loaned to RCAF 421 Squadron in 1950 to gain experience in the new post war European theatre. This Meteor will be painted to represent a 421 bird from that timeframe.

It certainly is looking good, Lou. I regret that I have not yet been able to post some old end of WWII 3views of the Meteor.

Some small progress has been made to the Meteor. The engine to wing fairings have been added and sanded. The tail group is glued and the main wing still needs a bit of fitting to properly position it before gluing.

The Airfix 1/72 is there to see how the undercarriage is assembled as my drawings do not show them.

That looks great Lou, especially as its 1/144 scale, I know what a fiddly job that scale can be in plastic.   Regards Paul J.
