ericg Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Here are photos of my 1/32 Gloster Meteor F.8 as flown by Pilot Officer Geoff Collins, 77Sqn RAAF, Kimpo Korea, 1952 during the Korean War. For some history and info about Geoff, have a look at this link. http://www.radschool.org.au/magazines/Vol34/Page10.htm The model: HK Meteor F.4, extensively converted to an F.8 using the Fisher Model and Pattern resin kit. Scratchbuilt : Pilot cockpit access step Rocket rails and stubs Exhaust pipes assemblies Additions/modifications: Opened the Ground/Flight switch access panel and added the flap whip antenna Landing light Lowered main and nose gear legs by approx. 3mm block treaded tires heating element on each side of the windshield Scratchbuilt new cartridge ejection chutes Other stuff that I may have forgotten about. brewer, shbemo13, Ads and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Outstanding effort! The Meteor is not especially my bag air-craft wise, but your build and vignette is TOP notch, and the PSP, rockets and ground equip, really add a great flair.

LSP_Paul Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Beyond outstanding Eric, seriously that is one gorgeous model, with the right background behind it, one would be hard pressed to tell its a model and not the real deal.
