Nice to you back at the bench. Did you rescribe the Airfix Meteor?

Thanks, it's nice to be back at the bench.JamesPerrin wrote:Nice to you back at the bench. Did you rescribe the Airfix Meteor?
I did re-scribe the Meteor and tried to add some detail to the cockpit and landing gear wells. I also made new jet exhausts from aluminium tube painted with Alclad. I'm quite happy with the finish.
