Wingco57 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Here she is.Built using the new HK Models Meteor F 4. I built it out of the boxApart from adding an Eduard seatbelt set from the spares box. I sanded the outboardLeading edges quite a bit as I felt them to be a bit blunt. It's a great kit, as well asBig and heavy with the weight provided. The gun sight could do with a replacementThough as it's open at the front. The intakes are bare which I lined with aluminiumFrom a beercan and suitably rivetted.I used the Dutch Decals sheet which has recently been released. Thanks to Luuk Boermanfor the sample. A review will appear soon on LSM.Most pics were taken before I added the red nosetip as well as sone chipped paint fromThe intake rims representing the wooden surface to show through.

Administrators James H Posted February 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 28, 2014 Gorgeous Cees! What did you use for the wash? It still looks a real busy surface despite just being silver. Like it lots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks chaps, Will insert linky to the build later ( don't know how to do that on the Ipad). Just dark dirt and black Flory wash. I really love the stuff. Even months After applying you can still control how much you want to to wipe off as It's clay based. Ask me how I know (Jeroen, does Wimpy ring a bell?) The surface needs to be gloss though otherwise it messes up the Paint finish. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Superb Cees!! I love this one - an iconic aircraft beautifully built and finished. I think it's a great kit too and I agree about Flory's washes - they're easy to use and you can achieve some super results with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
