Calling this one done, was almost there when "new evidence" turned up, so some re-work was carried out

This is Tamiya's F.3 Meteor, updated to represent EE337 when she was used for aircraft carrier deck landing trials.

Only one small comment I would make though, I don't think it would have been NMF, painted silver maybe ??? and it looks like it was EE387

EDIT: D'oh! -- just checked the history listing in Air-Britain' Aeromilitaria (who just happen to have a running article on all the single-seat Meteors), and I find it was both EE337 and EE387 which were used for deck trials.

That looks gorgeous. I love the way you've blended all the different shades of silver to create a weathered look.

I like that a lot. The carrier deck base provides a nice context for it.

I've got a soft spot for that kit as it was my first 1/48 build after starting up again, and it was a totally enjoyable kit. Nice to see some do something different with it.

Beautiful finish Oz! You can be very proud of that one-superb work!
