Some pics showing latest progress. I wasn't satisfied with the exhausts I built , hence I ripped them off. Ordered some 1/35 PE grills from a LHS - awaiting them to finish exhausts.

Man, the counterweight in the turret must be made of (at least) uranium! :o

Nope , counterweight is made of spackmanium. This element was discovered by a Gloster engineer , Kit Spackman , during the construction of the Gloster Meteor PR19   ;)

Curses, the secret is out!  ;) ;D :lol:

Actually the PR19s were built by Armstong-Whitworth, but it's not that far from Hucclecote to Whitley.......  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Well , FINALLY started to work on my whiff this past weekend  ;D

Just been occupied this past month , but now it's full steam ahead with whiffing !

Ripped out the work I did , to rebuild the exhaust / rear engine end this week *cross fingers , touch wood  ;D*

Completed the turret stowage basket today. Some PSR work to remain.

PS - Next whiff I am going to do , it's a COMPLETED whiff ! Taking up too much time when posting my 'progress updates' - that's if I have updates to post !

Reckon the next step is ....... using my airbrush and painting it !

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Coming along nicely, mkhulu! :thumbsup:

Looks like a little bit of PSR work & she'll be ready for battle, to me. Keep her coming! ;D

:cheers:
