Because I have past with Meteor (Belgian, detailed MK.4) Why is called Meatbox Cheers Nick

I wonder if later versions are going to be accomodated by the molds? Looks nice, though did the Mk III have the airbrakes? I remember that was a problem with the Tamiya release if I remember right.

Nick- meatbox was the pilot's nickname for the meteor because of its poor safety record- a large number of pilots were killed in them. I very hopeful for the new wave of cyber-hobby 1/72 kits: now let's see theor new ww2 types...

Hi Matt The Mk lll wing had airbrakes. The confusion that Tamiya had was with the Mk l. Tamiya used the Mk l at the air museum at Cosford as reference. Unfortunately this example had the Mk lll wing with airbrakes fitted, replacing the original Mk l wing. Tim
