Sorry chaps. Not really been keeping a WIP as such and just got on with it. Kit looks good with the right shape, however the fitting of the fuselage still have that `perfect fit` issue. A tad of filler will sort that out. ![]()

A couple of pictures of the progress with all the rattle can paintwork now on. Given it a coat of matt varnish and once dry, I`m going to attempt my first ever model wash. Lets hope I don`t bodge this up........!![]()

Well, it seems that I made a mistake with the wash and should have used a gloss varnish prior to the wash. In any case, here`s the result of a non gloss finish. ![]() Admittedly the top sides just look a little dirtier, which isn`t a bad thing, but I think I`ll leave another wash to another model as I don`t want to ruin the look of this one. |

Finished the Meteor F.3 tonight and I have to say I`m rather pleased with it. :D Here`s a few shots of her, with a couple of pics thrown in of 74`s previous mount before converting to the F.3 for company. Tomorrow I`ll try and get a few better quality pictures in daylight in the company of her Meteor sisters. ![]() ![]() ![]()
