Heres my version of the swept wing meteor that I mentioned earlier. It was my first ever kit bash so is very rough around the edges.

Its currently undergoing a milliput overhaul to smooth out all those steps, dips and rough edges, should look very sleek by the time im finished

A silver finish is very unforgiving. Looks nice though

That sure changes the look of it ! Pretty neat if you ask me. No bother about the finish, we get the idea and it looks good !

I feel that I should point out that I'm gonna polish the sanded bits before I re apply the paint work

Now that's a very late 40's/early 50's looking aeroplane. Looks like something that might have come out of Hawkers design office or maybe Supermarine ? Very nice

That's awesome RAFF-35. I like your idea of moving the engines to the fuselage. That gives me an idea.

Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

Should I be worried??

the reasons for the engines being centrally mounted were because I didn't have the technical knowledge how to put them on the swept wing, but mainly because it would make the meteor more agile
