OK Guys I have just uploaded my first non-British paint to the library (before even posting at BritSim or FlightSim!). It is a Dutch paint (as promised to Stickshaker) although I see our friend Jankees has joined the party and started a Dutch example! Excellent, the more painters the merrier! One word of warning though - Rob's texture file 'Meteor 4' in his paintkit needs modifying to stretch the wing downwards to cover the trailing edge otherwise you get a grey area at the back of the wing. Just a little hint.

cheers, Pete W

Does the model support spec files?

Jankees, that looks brilliant! If and when finished, could you provide us with a link please?

And seeing that you live in Belgium, would you mind doing a Belgian one??

What awesome news!!!! (see Rob's homepage)

Looks great Rob - very kind of you to take this on. that 2 Sqn paint is just the bee's knees.

Looking forward to your DH 125 too, when that matures - will be a winner.

Best regards,

Daniel

PS - if the twin boom bug bites again, is a Vampire T something you'd consider - just a thought...

I second that motion, A Vampire T or perhaps dare I suggest a Vampire NF possibly???

Thank you Rob for releasing another set of Meteor models! They are much appreciated. Actually your NF.14 is among my favorite FSX aircraft. Something very graceful about that long fuselage and the teardrop canopy.

A FR.9 would be a great addition to the Meteor family. Do any of you have any info about the effect on the cameras when firing the four 30mm cannons...?

update on the Dutch one, now with Polly Grey on the tail:

and, as requested, a Belgian aircraft, GE-G of 349 squadron:

both paints now available on OZx

happy flying, Jan Kees

Thank you, Pete and Jankees! Just downloaded the paints and I am going to fly them in a moment!

**Hooky722** · January 19th, 2014, 05:10

Thank you so much Jankees!!! I'll be sure to pick up both "Low Countries" repaints!!

If only I could offer you a daughter in marriage in return! ;-)

And very nice it is too. Many thanks for this one Rob - is the mapping the same as the Mk 8 (i.e. does it use the same paintkit) as I've got a couple of nice additional schemes in mind.

You are very welcome! Just finished a couple more silver Dutch examples. These will be the last silver ones but I may come back with a Dutch example when I move on to camo schemes. I was about to do a couple of Belgian examples but I think I will leave them to Jankees and move on to another country.

The paint kit I used was for the F Mk 8, just needed to bring the paint line forward at the nose, to make up for the extra nose length.

I used my revised F8 paintkit to create a 208 Squadron FR9. If you let me know which ones you are going to paint Andy I will avoid them (I hope WX962 is not one of them!).
In the meantime I will crack on with a Israeli example.

**AndyG43** · January 19th, 2014, 11:44

I was looking at WX962, a couple of Israeli schemes (one silver, one camo) and an 8 Squadron Meatbox, but I think I'll leave it with you Peter; you're far better at this sort of thing anyway.

**delta_lima** · January 19th, 2014, 19:34

The FR.9 has landed - and I'm so delighted.

Thanks Rob!!

Just finished a Israeli FR9 paint. This was the aircraft that shot down two Egyptian DH Vampires on 01.09.55.

**JensOle** · January 20th, 2014, 09:20

Looks great!

Lovely, I'm going to fly them all!
