Finaly got around the rather daunting job of masking the red on the cowlings and happy with the end result.

Looks promising Michael! 72 scale?

Just completed the info, Eric. It's the 48 scale Airfix Meteor. Not so happy about the Montex masks. The fit was good, but after removing they left behind a gooey residu . So spent some time cleaning windows 🙂

Hoi, hoe krijg je de masking synchroon? Dat gaat bij mij zelfs al bij de neus antiglare al scheef.

Nou Eelco, in dit geval was het wel even puzzelen om de juiste vorm te pakken. Ik heb met z.g. french curves eerst in papier test stukken gemaakt en de vorm op het model met het blote oog beoordeeld. Daarna overgezet op een A4 vel masking tape van onze japanse vrienden. Een strip daarvan gebruikt om het midden van de motor gondel en einde van de rode punt aan te geven (zit een schaalverdeling op dat papier) en verder de paneellijnen op het model gebruikt en de oude vertrouwde geo driehoek bij het zo goed mogelijk uitlijnen. Moet ook wel bekennen dat deze meteor een tijdje in de ijskast gestaan heeft voordat ik aan deze afplak klus begonnen ben. Maar ben wel tevreden met het resultaat. De Airfix oplossing (deel decals, deel verf) vondt ik niet echt een optie.

So, I consider this build finished. Managed over the last few weeks, in between work, heat and house hunting to put the last parts and decals on. The Airfix decals are very thin so that required some patience and perseverance and I had an yellowed Dutch Decals sheet for the aircraft specific markings, so the sun came in handy (hang them in the sun for two days and Bob's your uncle) Really happy with the end result and got some rusty skills refreshed.

Thank You guys, @ Bjorn I did like building this Airfix kit, with some care it builds into a nice replica of the meteor. The only things to ''nag'' about were the sinkmarks on some parts and the way you have to install the nosegear assembly before the nose cone goes on. But nothing major, and if it falls together flawlessly it doesn't feel like you've achieved anything 😉

Fantastic result Michael! Thinking about starting this kit too after the NF-5. Sounds like a great kit!

That sound really good! 👍 Thank you Michael for the mini review.😉 I want to build a meteor, so this kit is one of the contenders.
