Kit's Sea Meteor ##Finished##

Really nice. I'm beginning to love those Vallejo metallics. Thanks for the tip mate

Thanks.

Decals are on now. The home-made decals were a learning curve. Sealed with Vallejo Gloss Varnish and left for 48 hours to set. On the trial run the ink bled . Re-sprayed with the gloss and allowed to set. On this trial run no bleed (success ) then the decals broke up So I decided to coat them with liquid gold, yes I had to use some of my dwindling stash of Klear (Future). Gave the sheet a good 4 coats to be sure. So she is now wearing her codes.



Next step is a coat of good old Flory and a wipe down then onto the dangly bits

Looks great, Kit. I may have to try Vallejo metallics.

Flory wash done and wiped off, couple of areas to touch up as the panel lines are a bit shallow in places



Disaster with one of the homemade decals while rubbing off the Flory wash. Don't understand it as the other 3 were fine. Have to clean this area up and redo it.



She's up on here gear now, no pics of that yet

Calling this one done. The problem with the decals turned out to be a blessing as I had put them on the wrong way round Anyway here she is.

Gloster Meteor F3 (Hooked), EE337, aboard HMS Implacable, 8th June 1948



PS :- I know it's not the right carrier deck but it's the only one I have
