Meteor in the RAAF

Definitely different.  How did you make the contraprops?

Actually they were quite easy.  I had an old 1/144 P-3 Orion and took the props and spinners from that. I cut off the blades on two of the props and repositioned them to rotate the opposite directions. I drilled a small hole in the blade and in the hub and used to fine wire to hold them in place. The blades do not have a noticeable curvature and look the part just fine.

WOW Ed 
That is brilliant, and exactly the sort of thing I would have in my Honduras air force,

Love the dot painting inspired camo!

You could add to the story about how engineers from Republic were inspired to build the A-10 after seeing this bird in action.

Ah, the "Measley Meteor"!

Weird paint but it looks strangely cool.
