Thank you very much Nathan and VRWobst. @Nathan, the fit overall was good except the wing roots and nose cone. I had a rather large gap on either side of the wing roots, but I applied Tamiya tape across the wings and was able to close the gaps up and glued them with Tamiya extra thin cement. When they were dry I was able to fill what was left with Vallejo plastic putty.

Thank you very much Martien, Gordon and Christian. @ Gordon they sure do look nice in the NMF, and I have a boatload of them to do. LOL.

I bet that is a nice kit. I just finished putting the final clear coat on it. So I will paint the anti-glare panel tomorrow and start weathering it.

Clifford - Check your references carefully. Anti-glare panels are not that common on Meteors (but not totally unheard of!). 🙂

All clear Clifford! Found a photo of WH364 (in 85 Sqdn markings) at RAF Abingdon in 1968 - anti-glare panel in place! 👍

It is all done, except for some streaking and the nav lights. Final pictures tomorrow.

Very nice - clean finish + a few really good eye-catching detail-areas - a job well done 👍

Thank you very much Augie, Slavo and Nathan. Your kind words humble me, You 3 are tough acts to follow. Now on with the Viggen. And I think I will do my 1/35 OH-58 "Black Death" Kihowa for the Heilo group build, when and if we get it started.
