Default RE: T&J Models Gloster Meteor (short kit)(EDF Jet)

Progress is moving along. As most kits the easy part is framing her up, now comes the real work, gear, gear doors, details, sanding, more sanding, and all the other fun stuff.

I got the noes gear in and I'm working on the doors. I did get the guns in and they turned out really good. I bashed up some gear to get them to work and be somewhat close to the original gear. I'm also doing basic wire gear too just incase. I'm getting my graphics from Bad Brad. I keep toying with doing silk and dope but just can't stomach all the extra sanding and painting. This is my first jet so I'm sure she will get banged up. I have the cockpit almost done and I'm just waiting on my pilots to show up. She is looking really good. I weighed the frame without any gear or fans and she's right around 5lb

Next is the dreaded main gear and gear doors!
