Hey guys, here are some photo's of my Xtrakit Meteor. It was a very good kit to build, nice engraved detail, and the overall fit was quite OK.

This meteor is build straight out of the box, with the use of Modelmaster paints and completed with decals from Dutch Decal sheet 72019.  These decals are pretty old, so there are not that thin like you use to see with the newer decals. I've used a lot of micro sol to make them look alright.

The aircraft is a mk.8 used by 323 squadron in the colours of their flight demonstration team "The Red Noses" from the Mid '50's
