Aboslutely stunning Ian! It's always a treat to see your work and these beauties are no exception!

It's a good thing you don't build biplanes or I'd be in trouble!

Nice looking models, Ian.  Both turned out quite good.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Well, the Tiffie is excellent, but the Meatbox is OUTSTANDING!!!!  :wub: :wub: :wub:

The execution of the model is first class, and the choice of colours is exemplary  :thumbsup:

Very nice.  They're both pretty, but the Meteor gets my vote. :thumbsup: :wub:

2 of your best yet my friend. Both of them amazing in concept and build, but I have to say my favourite one is the desert Meteor. Something about that colour scheme just makes any machine that wears it look stunning! Superb work.
