Hi Mark

Yes please mate

U16 mostly as thats the one i am on currently.

just moved the NF11 rear fuselage and tail unit over and pinched the Venom canopy (adjusted to fit)

Getting there.

I have a lot of Meteor drawings and books but none for the Drones

Regards
Rick

i've been asking that for years and none of us have a clue... it seems to be a nice side effect of a good run on the bike! :lol:

That looks pretty good Rick.

You need to add the wingtip extensions though and then put the pods on the end of 'em.
Also ditch the rearmost antenna.

There's very few drawings exist for the drones.The nearest I've got is in the Meteor Warpaint and that's only
scap views of the nose extension and the tip extensions.

Keith seems to have a bottomless pit of photo's -- I (half jokingly) suggested that a Tug would be nice to tow the Jindi out to the active -- he published half a dozen shots of what looks like the old Thames PO half truck/van combinations that they used at Llanbedr....and a pretty yellow mobile crane.

Hi Guys

I knew about the ariels & pitot etc

model shot was still with T7 bits

In FS

Rick

Textures miles from finished as panel lines still need adjusting from 2 seater to F8/U16

I will let someone else do the tug & crane as it will go on too long otherwise and i will never finish it :$
