What-if Meteor in Canadian Armed Forces markings

[dmthamade 3,215]

I should have done this in the What-if GB, didn't think i would have it done by the end. It's the HK Models F.4 Meteor that will be done in Canadian colors of 414 Squadron. I'm using a Leading Edge sheet for a T-33. I've painted it with Tamiya AS-12 spray can and did some high vis panels on the wings and horizontal stab in red, top and bottom. The tail i did in red/black stripes. I still may do the front engine cowls in red/black divided into quarters.

 

 

Hope to finish this by years end, may be tight.

Had time today to apply the major decals. To me it looks OK in the Canadian markings.

 

 

Still have a lot of stencils to add.

I like it, but to make it 'correct', shouldn't it have the old flag on the tail? Either way, I like the creativity involved here. Model on!!

To me it looks OK in Canadian markings.

 

I have to completely agree but it looks better than Ok, it looks fantastic. What a wonderful idea.

 

Cheers,

Thanks for the support, guys!! The timeframe the F.4 Meteor could have been in the RCAF would be different from the markings i used, and you're right, the old flag would have been used. I used these decals because i had them, and...... nothing more than that. I had time to apply Florys dark dirt wash. The molded rivet panel detail is great on this kit, lost some of it cleaning up seams. I also didn't prime it, so the silver has some uneven appearances . A few pics of progress.
