EDIT Off the top of my head:  Looked at the kit:

ALARM x3 x2
Stormshadow x2
British Paveway III II x2
British Paveway IV III x2
Sidewinders
TIALD
Boz flare pod
Skyshadow ECM x2
RAPTOR recce pod
British 1,000lb bombs x8
1,500 ltr IDS tanks x2
2,250 ltr ADV Hidnenburger tanks x2
Extra fairings specific to the GR.4

It's the original GR.1/1A kit with extra sprues to update it to the GR.4.  The kit is far from fantastic (raised panel lines, poor detail, badly fitting), but should be great for a four year old who wants to bang it together in an afternoon.  It's oop, but you can get it from ebay or a show.  Grab the Revell GR.1 to update it to a GR.4, or put the weapons on whatever you want (or both, as you'll have enough weapons left for other projects)!

Just checked the kit, nearly right, 2 ALARM's not 3, Paveways are II and III, (not IV), doesn't have the Hindenburgers.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

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

PR19_Kit

An MPM prone pilot Meteor kit arrived from Big H this morning.  :thumbsup:

A cracking peice of kit, it's a complete F8 kit to start with, plus an extra sprue with the prone nose bits and an NF12 tail unit. For some reason there's also a clear FR9 nose as well. I'm not complaining one bit of course.  ;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

So that sounds as if your going to build a prone reconnaissance Meteor then kit?

Actually no, but it will have longer wings, naturally.  ;D

I suspect you're leaving the canopy off, claiming it's 1/144 and finishing it off as a retro 1950's British Aerospace ATP/Jetstream 61!
