1/48 Tamiya Meteor I

--------------------

 

An excellent kit from Tamiya. This is the original version with the airbrakes in the wings.  I understand that Tamiya modified later releases with corrected wings.  I didn't know about the error at the time and so it's not corrected here.  The model is entirely 'out of the box' and finished in Tamiya paints mixed per the instructions. The left engine clear 
cover was left partially unpainted to show the simple engine underneath.

The kit decals were used over Future and the final coat is Floquil satin acrylic.  A very neat jet when finished and an elegant counterpart to the shark-like Me262.
