That is one colourful Meteor Boris! And you tamed this not so easy kit very well 👍

Nice! I think I have a picture of the real thing, resting under the sun. If I find it I will upload it.

Thanks Erik ! As I said, I'm not very happy with the paint job (maybe not obvious in the pictures), but if my experience with the build can be useful for someone, that's good. I know the new Airfix kit is not perfect, but if they had a F.4, it would probably make for an easier build.
I would like to mak a late French NF-11 (they used them for many decades as test beds for engines, radars, etc.), but I would wait for a new kit for that.
Thanks Maciej, and yes, if you find those pictures, let me know ! I mostly use the ADF database for reference.

Here is the one, though the aircraft is different as it is a two seater (I think) and has camera windows on the nose.

Ah! Yes, I know this one, it's at the Woomera site, on permanent display. I saw it there a few years ago (my partner is Australian) and started thinking about modelling it. It is a hybrid between a T7 (?) trainer and a Recce model (nose grafted on). In fact, it's what first got me interested in building a Meteor.
The U.15 is the drone version of the F.4 and the U.16 that of the f.8 (but the nose is modified on those).
