Global Scale Modeller

When i was a young bloke ( 50 years ago) i was taken to see the Meteorites perform at a RAAF Base near Melbourne Australia, they impressed me and i have liked and modelled Meteor's ever since

I nowadays model 1/48 scale and have just completed the Classic Airframes kit with Red Roo Decals, the kit is not very difficult , the only thing is to ignore step 7 and complete top and bottom wings as separate / whole units , if that makes sense as you will then save yourself MUCH filling and sanding

RAAF Meteors were painted silver and i have used my Favourite paint for this being Tamiya flat aluminium XF-16

She aint perfect but she is done !

Lovely job Norm, I must get a Meteor. How's the heat?

The Heat ??

Down from 45 to 35 degree's today after a week of it

were a bit sick of it

Mustn't complain, you blokes get your share of rubbish weather too !!

Albeit wet etc

****ing down here Norm, been like it since...well forever

Nice finish with the tamiya xf16 Norman, great work, a nice neat clean build

That NMF came out very well dude.

A stunning bird for sure.

Very nice build! Great finish

Great finish ! Nicely done !

i think this is a brilliant build, and really like the finished look, i hope i can make mine look like this when i try aircraft.
