This just landed today. Wow! Impressed as . . . . . . can be.
This is a really superb model and I'm super impressed already.

Engraved detail and raised rivets.
Some very feint sink marks around this area. You can't really see them in this view.

Thanks for publishing the sprue shots, it looks like a nice kit, the open panel with the panel fixtures is a nice touch.

Thanks for this posting.

Re: New tool Airfix Meteor F8
Being unable to get into the attic to pull down models from the stash, I am trying to complete dozens still sitting around the model room.
Here is one. All hand painted in Humbrol Acrylics. Varnish is 20% Tamiya Flat Base to 80% Kleer. Just a big flat brush.
