Well, for a start there's three of them and that counts for something as well. And from my point of view (ie as seen from Sweden :-) ) they look excellent!

Good work Allen and Sam!

The current state of affairs, I call it "semi-finished"!





I'll put this one on the back burner for a while, it needs some weathering and detail painting before qualifying as a "real" finisher!

After a bit of additional work I declare this one as finished!










They probably never met in real life but here it is with a Danish cousin!







A few conclusions for Meteor fans: The kit is very nice, an easy build with lots of attractive aftermarket decal options. The IsraDecal sheet does however have some very interesting omissions: it lacks the prominent markings around the footsteps and also the number "15" on the nose gear door (that I haven't added but I might do one day...). It looks as if they concentrated on the F.8 and forgot the others.

And now on to something completely different...
