1/48 Gloster Meteor by Devminatus



🛩 Gloster Meteor
🇬🇧 Royal Air Force
🛠 Devminatus
⭐️ Scala 1/48 Airfix
It looks great in the box, the cockpit is great and then it starts, over the grout, the sinking, the offset, the missing position lights and the icing in the end is the finding that the legs of the chassis are molded in a relieved position as if after takeoff. Of course, this will be noticed until the chassis has been stuck on the model so that it can be grasped, cut and lowered because it will not let the pride be left unattended and Meteor looks like a ladder.
I used the Eda plates - the floor and the seat belts, the flaps and chassis shafts, Eda resin wheels (they are stupid, do not have mirror-turned axle holes) and Xtradacals decals.

Had to post this picture of the Marines Enlist club.   50 yrs ago I was in Chu Lai with the Americal Division. Picture is not of me.

KI-61 Ace's profiles

The Ki-61 is a very swift looking aircraft.   Being the only water cooled WW2 Japanese aircraft. Always liked the aircraft.
