tease! 

no clues as to the finish?

looks good so far I-H-G.

[John Howling Mouse]

Has this been a breeze to assemble so far?

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Barry you've NO IDEA how easy this thing falls together, really it's easier than a SnapFix !

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

All major building finished, so here's the last shot you'll see of it looking 'clean'. Off to the paint shed later to get 'pre-shaded'.

And an hour later it looks like this:-

[Howard of Effingham]

pardon me ian but why do those airbrakes look purple? maskol? 

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Yep, Trev, that's Maskol. Didn't need the hassle of masking off around the recesses after painting the camouflage and spraying the Duralumin.

And here's the progress on the Meteor. Two-and-a-half thin coats of Xtracolour Azure Blue - with a few drops of Humbrol Satin White and Lt Gull Grey to take the edge of what is quite a 'vibrant' colour. The pre-shading has bled through nicely - almost as if I meant it 







Really pleased with the effect looks like it's had a 'hard day at the office' already !; unlike the Tiffie which is going to look quite fresh when it's done, just a few trips under its' belt.

Thanks for looking. As ever all comments and questions are welcomed, all criticism will be treated with complete contempt

[sotoolslinger]

Beautiful technique, I'm stealin that.

[John Howling Mouse]

Coming along very nicely, Ian (as we knew it would).  Looking forward to more....

[Sisko]

Always like seeing your works in progress.

I likewise can't wait for more.

[Ed S]

Good job with the preshading.  It doesn't look garish or overdone.  Should make a nice model when it's done.

State of the art, my friend.
