Thank you very much Nathan and VRWobst. @Nathan, the fit overall was good except the wing roots and nose cone. I had a rather large gap on either side of the wing roots, but I applied Tamiya tape across the wings and was able to close the gaps up and glued them with Tamiya extra thin cement. When they were dry I was able to fill what was left with Vallejo plastic putty.

Great looking Meteor, Clifford! You have to admit, those old jets look good in NMF!

Thank you very much Martien, Gordon and Christian. @ Gordon they sure do look nice in the NMF, and I have a boatload of them to do. LOL.

I bet that is a nice kit. I just finished putting the final clear coat on it. So I will paint the anti-glare panel tomorrow and start weathering it.

Clifford - Check your references carefully. Anti-glare panels are not that common on Meteors (but not totally unheard of!). 🙂

All clear Clifford! Found a photo of WH364 (in 85 Sqdn markings) at RAF Abingdon in 1968 - anti-glare panel in place! 👍

It is all done, except for some streaking and the nav lights. Final pictures tomorrow.

Very nice - clean finish + a few really good eye-catching detail-areas - a job well done 👍

Thank you very much Augie, Slavo and Nathan. Your kind words humble me, You 3 are tough acts to follow. Now on with the Viggen. And I think I will do my 1/35 OH-58 "Black Death" Kihowa for the Heilo group build, when and if we get it started.
