  1. Oh well back to the drawing board thanks for the info There's probably a model shop in a small village at the foot of the Himalayas with a little old monk selling off ID 1/32 meteors out of a cardboard box full of them but they don't have the internet yet
  2. Hi My copy of the Meteor Datafile arrived today and it aso lists a 1/32 F8 in resin and vac form from "Panther" stating "available 2004" but I have not heard of this company. Anyone out there able to shed any light ?? thanks
  3. Hi thanks for the info. I suspect that my idea of doing it all in 1/32 is going to come unglued and I should re think it to 1/48 as the Meteor will be my nemesis! Knowing my luck I shall get them all done in 1/48 just as someone announces a 1/32 Meteor F8 ! Hows the 1/32 Typhoon coming on - it was about my last model before I hung up the glue pot and spent 24 hours working trying to run a business before I saw the light and got my life back !! One thing coming back to this hobby is I am truly gobsmacked by the work that many of the guys are doing. Awesome. I have only ever seen work this quality in a museum from professional model builders before. Inspiration for an old plastic hacker like myself
  4. Thanks for the lead Larry. I will follow through on that and see what happens much appreciated
  5. Thanks for the welcome I have just had a very quick look at the Chris's build of the 219 and that is awesome. I feel a bit like a golfer feeling a bit pleased as he has just made the green while staying on the fairway and not getting into the rough for the first time and then seeing Tiger woods just hole in one on the same course !! My work is nowhere near that standard but I guess I get just as big a kick out of what I do as Chris. At least thats a ton of inspiration and I am going to follow his thread and build through and see what I can do to copy it as best i can now ! Apologies to Chris in advance but I've heard it said that copying is the only sincere form of flattery !
  6. Hi Guys First post on here as just joined. I am coming back to the hobby after many decades away and starting with a few out of box models to get my hand and eye back in. Its interesting to see how techniques and products have moved on, not to mention model quality and prices ! Anyway I want to have a go at doing all the post WW2 aircraft of a local RAF Squadron in 1/32 and the one that I don't have in the stash - or that is not about to be kitted - is the Meteor F8 Looking at the web and also from a very hazy memory a company called either ID Models or Combat Models produced one as a vac form decades ago I don't suppose anyone has one to sell? Anyone able to comment on the quality? I have a couple of 1/32 unbuilt vac forms from that era -Heinkle 219 for one - and they are about as basic as things get ! thanks for any help in advance John
