A slight twist with this Airfix Meteor - it has been converted to a Trent-powered machine using the Unicraft Models resin conversion kit and was brush-painted. Decals from Modeldecals. The conversion kit included props, engine nacelle halves, engine intakes, tail fins and canopy:
Whilst an interesting result, I do NOT recommend this particular conversion kit which was of very poor quality.
