It would have to be something pretty recent Chris . Most of the Meteor kits ( older ) where about the very early Meteors and that canopy was very different .
This one is mid run . Sort of in between the early and the Mk 8 's . I have an old Airfix but I have not got that desperate yet :v
Cheers, C. B)
Nice! If only I didn't over think it so much.

Not much of anything to think about here Pup . Just some silver paint to mimic the silver paint on the real bird

Started to put on decals today . All that silver was begging for some color. A lot more to go.
Actually got a real reply from Special Hobby . Might have something after a while

No soap on a canopy from Chuck's big box of airplane parts. Spitfire, P-61, T-33. No Meteors.
Thanks Chris . I think it might actually workout with Spec. Hobby.

I have been piddling with this build . I don't want to install the gear and little tidbits before I can deal with the canopy
All the decals were installed in three sessions . A lot of small decals. On a positive note, I must say that this was the high point of the kit . Some of the best decals ever
Some washes were also done.
Need to do some detail painting and the gear parts next . Maybe the canopy will be here soon... :hmmm

Thanks Mike, Mr. Bob and James for commenting on my thread .
The Gloster saga continues :S Not bad though .
As I was getting ready to mask for the next color I noticed a paint blob on the engine cowl and a rubbed out place on the tail :hmmm
So, after some fine sanding and a lot of masking ( I hate it ) . Concerned about not damaging any decals or pulling up the AK. silver paint
Don't have much experience with the xtreme yet but it held up well
The paint looks a bit brighter , so I'll have to do another fiter .
Gonna play it safe and wait 24 hours to let it cure :coolio
Drat, still no canopy in the mail :smack

Yeah, I have thought that the cling plus would work really well but it has not .
I have seen some guys using tinfoil . Gonna have to try that . At least it would stay where you bend it to. :idonno
