Meteor

[minter]

just having a larf here, but seeing as were getting them in 1/72 can you imagine this in 1/32 scale,who would like one http://hsfeatures.com/features04/images/meteorf3wb_3.jpg

Removeable engine covers... aaarrrgh...... (mind you its not a Legend then..)

D'ya get a free V1 to go with it (and a 1/32 Mrs Mint shaking her rolling pin at it..)

and a 1/32 Mrs Mint shaking her rolling pin at it..)

tee hee funny :D

[Agent X20]

Well it would bring some humour into it... I mean at £139.99 RRP you wouldnt find it amusing...

The funny bit is that in years to come the plane would be worth £15, the V1 - a tenner, but the Mrs Mint figurine - £250.00...

[minter]

Mrs Mint figurine - £250.00...

scantily clad like a russel flint watercolour.... :eek: no ta :D

[Agent X20]

My vision was more sorta Flo out of Andy Capp.... :D

Would just like a 1/72 camo Meteor.....

[Agent X20]

As in above rather than an F8..?

[The Defiant Man]

Any....afraid I'm no expert...were there any F8's in camo at all?

[planejunky]

Any....afraid I'm no expert...were there any F8's in camo at all?

There were some in the very early days of F8 operations.

[The Defiant Man]

That'll do! :rolleyes:

'VZ467, exported to Australia in the summer of 2001 (1:1 Scale) was in camouflage when it left the UK - looked bootiful. The Australians repainted it silver. Looks just as bootiful.

To answer the question geee whiz, yes, I can see that sat on my desk....

[Agent X20]

The first Meteor is camo.... :confused: :confused:

So .. more chance of that than a VC10..!!!

Could be a 'Working model' with V1 sound Effects!!!! :eek:

Hi,

That is an excellent looking model, can you tell me who it is made by? I would really like to make that myself! Maybe a nice RAE one, in the red white and blue scheme.

Thanks

cant remember exactly where i found it,but look in here theres some good examples www.hyperscale.com

Just as an aside here, doing a 'compare and contrast' on my 1 Sqn and RAuxAF Meteors, the engine intakes seem to be larger on the 1 Sqn machine - not sure if this is Corgi modelling a modification or having a change of heart on the profile. Have to say the RAuxAF intake style looks closer to the real thing I used to walk past on the way to work. Uncle Albert?

I see Agent’s point about panel lines, makes them look a little ‘Matchbox’. However, don’t think it will be so noticeable on the camouflaged one and they still look PDG

Full marks to Corgi for making a relatively obscure early jet (in the grand scheme of things) and not jumping on the F-16/F-18/F-15 bandwagon

[Agent X20]

These panel lines obviously seem to be a problem for some models/manufacturers and to me the likes of the Mig 15 and Meteors are a little on the very heavy side and certainly on the latter ruins what was one of the sleekest of new types from the late forties... It certainly would not have won any speed records like that... :mad: At this stage in the game these models should be better from the number ___ manufacturer (insert as applicable)

To me the Meteor and the Me262 are of the same ilk... I hope Willys offering will be .. 'smooth' and that the BOAC version is the next club model...

.. more water matron...

[Red Leader]

BOAC version of what????!!!!

[Agent X20]

BOAC version of the Me 262... :D Bound to happen...

Actually fondled a No 1 Sqn..Meteor today.. panelling was not as pronounced as some of the photos.. but what is galling is the strap on nose and tail plane.. looked like Jacques with one of his false noses... also intakes look far too large which is what Maple was stating...

Nice stainless steel aerial though..... :D
