++ **** DONE: 1/48 Meteor F-8 - Military Conflicts of the 1950's

[Airframes]

The pic Karl posted is closer. The parachute pack is in the seat pan, showing the colour of the pack and back pad above it (not visible in the pic), with the dinghy pack above that, in yellow. This would normally also have a light brown cover pack over it.
The seat below is a later Mk2A, but shows how the Meteor seat would look, overall. Parachute harness is a light 'off white' light sand colour, and seat harness is a dark bluje-grey.
Airfix probably used an example with modern emergency equipment fitted, hence the colour call-out.

Nice cockpit! Is that an Eduard instrument panel?

 

[Airframes]

Very nice, and same question.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks great. No indigestion here.

 

[destrozas]

great job for the moment as usual in you, me produces healthy envy, (it is a Spanish expression to say we felt clumsy compared to something or someone), I'll ask a question that is very silly but so I take the doubt , to prefilar your cockpit panels have made them dry pinel?

back on the wings, upper sections of wheel bays attached, holes drilled for the rockets, going to use the double sets from the Seafire kits to hang on it.
Upper wings also in place with engines fitted, not doing much here as it will be closed up...

It's coming together nicely. The scribing on this looks a tad more "refined" than what I'm used to seeing on an Airfix kit. Is that a fair observation?
