Not yet as I've started the Meteor 1st but I'll be on it very soon sometime today.
Is this the one were the pilot was actually meant to leave the aircraft before impact ?

"The Fi 103 was reappraised and was adopted for the project as it seemed to offer the pilot a slim chance of surviving "

Hi guys apparently the pilot had only a 1% chance of surviving and several died during training. I'm about to post a video from YouTube if your interested. Cheers John

Hi everyone I made a start on the V1 last night sprue removing clean up and dry fitting priming etc. Looks and feels like a nice kit however the locating pins were a little tight in my opinion so i drilled them out a little. A quick look what's inside as I didn't post previously.
Cheers John

Hi folks bit of an update from the shed as I'm sitting here happily plodding away on another beautiful day with a few cold beers bits of plastic and glue patiently waiting for the 'call" for my Sunday dinner. Kit went together very well. Thanks for looking in and any comments left. Cheers John
Well now, there must have been a que of volunteers for that job.

Hi folks all buttoned up and ready for the squiggly bits 
Not looking forward to that if I'm honest. I can do some amazing patterns on a scrap piece of paper but as soon as I point my airbrush in the direction of a model that's were it all starts going wrong.Thanks for looking in and any comments left. Cheers John

Cheers JohnIt's called "Stage Fright"...get it my self, usually on a build I have spent months on and the camo pattern has been carefully planned and practiced. Hang in there John and keep in mind that anything you foul up, you can fix up. It's what you do that is important. Rick H.
