Latest one to leave the vast rotatating carousel is this, the Meteor PR3.

Bog standard Airfix Meteor F3 with the nose hacked off and replaced with a (pirated) resin nose from the CMK Meteor F8/FR9.  In addition, it's got the belly fuel tank and I think this one was nicked from the Rareplanes Meteor F8.

Nice simple little conversion Lee. Never see a small full colour fin flash like that though. When/where were they used ?

Look forward to seeing the other 2 as the schemes sound  :wub:

Gorgeous looking Meteor Lee. Can't wait to see the others.

QuoteHowever, you can chop up an Airfix Meteor F3 which would give you the tail unit and ask Blackbeard Resins nicely for a Meteor PR nose.
Independent Review - "Good quality casting, minimum cleaning up, fits Airfix kit"

Another winner there Lee! Hard not to look good when you're wearing PRU blue, beautiful colour.
