Chris Reimann
Very nice and clean build!

This came out so good. I'm jealousy about your fricking awesome clear coats.
The color of the interior looks pretty good instead of black as usual.

Neuling
A beauty. Good choice of color!

Christian W
I think this is a favorite model kit of you. How many did you built? This looks great!

Neuling
An eyecatcher. 👍

Nice, following

Fauzan R.
Welcome Cristian!

Gladman
Great model. Nice work.
I was thinking of mounting one on an acrylic rod. Is it possible that you could tell me the internal diameter of the exhaust nozzle?

Fauzan R.
Thank you for your kind comment Gladman, in regard to the diameter of the exhaust, I measured the tip that it should be 1 cm. Sadly I cannot accurately measure the internal/base diameter of the exhaust, but I shouldn't be above 2cm.

Torsten
😎. really ❤️️

gorby
Oh very nice. 🙂

Robert Podkoński
I am glad you like it, Mates. Thanks!

Jan Peters
Very nice indeed 👍🏻

Robert Podkoński

Another nice addition to your eclectic model collection, dear Robert! Two thumbs up! 👍 👍

Ben M
Needs more giant squid 🦑

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Friends!

S M
My favourite submarine!🤩 Well done!

Robert Podkoński
Glad to hear that, S M!

Mark Sherwood
I agree with Ben M, needs more Squid 🤣 Spot on though. 👍🥸🤟

Robert Podkoński
Since I am in Spain now, I will try to find the adequate one 😄

John Hughes
Release the kraken! Pity there's no 1/16 figure of the Captain. In 1/350 you would be spending your time finding Nemo.

Mark Sherwood
Robert 🤣🤣 indeed release the Kraken, would that be the bottle 'o' rum?

Neuling
Very nice. Cool surface color!

I'm following this to learn

Martin Oostrom
Another tutorial one needs to watch

Gerald Sigmund
@mks: Komakais Walkaround shows meshes for the left and right intakes and none for the center one.

Bozzer
I have no idea of your subject, but I do enjoy your builds. The tutorial is always a lesson, and very informative. Keep them coming 👍

Pepe
Looking

berni
I take a seat 👍

DerMattes
Watching 👍

Johne 69
I am in too 😃

Ben M
When you thin parts, what technique do you use?

MS K
@Ben M - When I need to shave a lot, like this time, I use file.

Michael Kohl
Martin and Bozzer pointed it out. This will be fun and informative to follow.

Matteo Pescarin
Oh wow, as usual, fantastic documentation of the efforts going into this project. Chapeau to you!
Nonetheless, it makes me want to skip any Revell kit from now on... if I only didn't have any in my stash XD

MS K
@Matteo - The new mold products produced since around 2010 are generally nice quality(2CV, VW T1, 911G, Etc...) , but this product is so poorly made that it is ridiculous. I don't know what the production concept of this kit is. It is poor for a precision model, and it's not even easy to assemble.

Michael Kohl
With Revell you better check in advance how that specific kit is rated by others. They have tons of reboxes and quite a few kits where you just wanna ask: are you serious? But then, once in a while, just to show that they are able - in general - to be a serious modelling company, they release some really fine stuff. Doesn't hurt to be prepared what you're up against.

Alexander Grivonev
A true Revell car kit experience 👍 The casted on wiper is especially painful

Michael Kohl
That diffusor is a tremendous improvement.

amazon.com/dp/B00004..aps%2C163&sr=8-3
Such a tool makes such work as fitting the diffusor panels to the chassis much easier (the thinner the needles/pins, the more precise the contour).
Just a german site to give an idea.
Cheers Michael

MS K
Nice idea. I wish there was something made of insect pins thin enough to use in a plamodel.

Johne 69
Great work so far 👍

berni
A question. What Colours you would use at this kit?

MS K
@berni - The red is Italian Red, and I plan to use Cobalt Blue + Sky Blue (the instructions say to mix Ultramarine and Blue).

Spanjaard
wow, your attention to detail and how detail your build logs are, never disappoint! amazing

George Williams
That interior looks really good.

Kesa Tiho
This album is a perfect way to round up why revells models are subpar, why modeling is a great hobby and the lengths humans will go to to achieve perfection. Great progress my guy.

MS K
The results of the steering-enabled modification are as follows: Youtube Video

Bozzer
There's nothing better than catching up on your builds, on a Sunday morning. It always lifts me and gives me the energy to get into the cave and get some building done. Excellent work on the steering! And those little bearings used as rivets, is excellent 👍

Thorsten Höse
Awesome-sauce! 😎

Sy Bar
🍿👍

yngvenett
Well done 👏 👏 Good solutions as for the fuel filler cap and lots of other details. Enjoyed the trip 👍

Nicolas
Great result. 👍

Christian W
This is cool! I can't remember when I saw one built. Great gift!

Martin Oostrom
Very nice highway cruiser. Well doen

Bruno
Thanks Christian & Martin.

Neuling
Beautiful build and photography!

Bruce Huxtable
Immaculate!

Hi guys,

This is the venerable Xtrakit/MPM/Special Hobby Gloster Meteor F.8 which has since been superseded by Airfix offering but I had it in stock and I figured "how bad can it be?".

Back in 2006, 18 year old me had been blown away by Brett Green's build on Hyperscale which convinced me to order the kit straight from Hannants.
Well folks, Mr Green makes it look easy.

As a short run first-timer, I wasn't ready for the amount of sanding, cutting, filling and scratch-building needed to get this kit to look passable.

I don't think it's my best effort but I'm glad it's now across the finish line and I'll gladly avoid short-run kits in the future 🙂

Have a great day and happy modelling!

gorby
Beautiful!

Neuling
The finish is: beautiful 🙂
