Mach 1 Meteor, 1/72 Frog Meteor + Airfix Lightning wings (found some more time from somewhere to use up my stock-pile of Lightning wings  ;D )

That's elegant. Could IMHO use a pointed nose and a swept fin, but the overall outline is very nice!  :thumbsup:

Dude you've got a natural talent for building things that look freaking fast 😀😀👍
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Looks fast! Looks good! :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

The very first pic said 'Short SB5' to me, but the SB5 also had 'Lightning' wings I guess.

That looks BRILL, but how did you do the engines? I can't figure out where they came from.
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! :)

They look like simple styrene tubes to me - no body donors?

more Matchbox lightning over-tanks  ;D and sliced-up Mig21 tanks (I think they were tanks or bombs?)

Very many thanks for all the kind comments  :cheers:  :cheers:

Many thanks & very good point  :thumbsup: , I was going to go for a V tail but I wanted to keep some of the original Meteor look and it gave a nice arrow head shape to match the wings. Also I would have probably made a hash-up of a pointed nose conversion ;D

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

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
