Robs early British jets are among my favorite aircraft in FS. He has made an almost complete lineup of the Vampire, Venom and Meteor family. Thank you for making these aircraft! For the Meteors I particularly find the NF.14 to be the best looking. The bubble canopy introduced on this mark make it looks so much better than the old “greenhouse” canopy which was a left over from the T.7 on the first NF’s.

Rob; what about putting the NF.14 tail on the NF.11 for making a NF.12 as well ? :-) (+a slightly different radome)
BTW, The Venom NF.3 should also be a quick build with removing the tail hook arrangement from the Sea Venom FAW.21 (as far as I know so were the late Sea Venoms and the NF.3 similar in external appearance with the exception of the hook). Sorry for asking for more Rob, I'm just loving these first generation jets :-)

For some time ago I did a complete rework of the textures with all new panel lines and details and to be true I’m not sure if I ever got to release the 85 Sqn scheme. Another scheme I made was this NF.14 from No 152 Sqn RAF as it looked in the late 1950’s flying from RAF Wattisham. Do anyone of you guys know the color of the front nose gear door? I have found a source which states it to be blue, but that sounds a bit odd to be as the colors in the sqn decals were green, white and yellow.
