METEOR F.MK.8 - new project for this year

About a year ago I started planning the METEOR and asked permission from Bruno and Gary Pilsworth to use the body of their models to make it easier for me to design the model body, but in the end I decided to start it from new, because the big size of my model needed a new design and now has 13 parts throughout the body.
And despite the redesign, I am grateful to Bruno and Gary for their willingness....thank you guys.


In the end, I used my good friend Moshe Oshri to plan the body, and Yaron Nachshon helped me with the design of the engines.

I sketched the model body and the engine on a scale of 1:30 from Side profile, made formers and sent them my sketches with the parts, the formers and the distance between them, and they made me model layouts ..... and for that, lots of thanks to them.

YOAV


and now some pictures.








now for the canopy mold.
The canopy was challenging, because the front of the canopy flat on all 3 levels, while 5 mm after (where the pilot sits) the canopy becomes really round in the shape of a bubble.
Also, the rim of the frame should be bent outward.

the canopy placed on the prototype model

Yoav

You are producing another masterpiece! Looks great.

The canopy is perfect.

I can't wait to build it when released

That looks like a very good job on the canopy.
