Erik LeijdensThat is one colourful Meteor Boris! And you tamed this not so easy kit very well
27. October, 18:28
Maciej BellosNice! I think I have a picture of the real thing, resting under the sun. If I find it I will upload it.
27. October, 19:21
Boris BelayThanks Erik ! As I said, I'm not very happy with the paint job (maybe not obvious in the pictures), but if my experience with the build can be useful for someone, that's good. I know the new Airfix kit is not perfect, but if they had a F.4, it would probably make for an easier build.
I would like to mak a late French NF-11 (they used them for many decades as test beds for engines, radars, etc.), but I would wait for a new kit for that.
Thanks Maciej, and yes, if you find those pictures, let me know ! I mostly use the ADF database for reference.

Boris BelayAh! Yes, I know this one, it's at the Woomera site, on permanent display. I saw it there a few years ago (my partner is Australian) and started thinking about modelling it. It is a hybrid between a T7 (?) trainer and a Recce model (nose grafted on). In fact, it's what first got me interested in building a Meteor.
The U.15 is the drone version of the F.4 and the U.16 that of the f.8 (but the nose is modified on those).

Boris BelayMy first Classic Airframes kit, bought second-hand after the Airfix kit was released (so fairly cheap).
So far a lot of preparation work, as would be expected. But the confusing (wrong, actually) instructions for the cockpit and the silly mistakes on parts like the seat (combined with the scarcity of information on the F.4 model) makes for a laborious build at first. The detail on some of the resin is also poorer than the in-box reviews made me think.
Overall, it looks like it should be fine in the end, but I did not expect such slow progress...

RvHello Erik, yep.
The idea is to make a single NF.11 with:
- NF.14 / Sword (main body)
- NF.11 / Classic Airframes (nose, parts of the cockpit)
- F.8 / Airfix (tail)
30. April, 22:39
Erik LeijdensOkay thanks for the info. But why not using the CA NF.11 fuselage with the Airfix tail? Saves cutting on the nose. Is the Sword NF.14 fuselage more accurate?
1. May, 05:47
RvWell, the Sword kit is much better (details, general assembly, recessed lines quality). The wings and engines assembly is much better engineered.
