Meteor f.mk.8 - building report

[RagnarTheTerrible]

Like usual it's the little details you add which truly bring the model to life... after the clear canopies and detailed cockpits and thoughtful design and beautiful painting.

What a great looking model! Thank you again for sharing it with us.

What are your plans after you have finished all of the IAF jets, Yoav?

How about Mosquito and Beaufighter?

In any case, I would be happy if you build my models, they are on a large scale of 1:30, but simple to build as models 1:50 scale.
They are free and they are on the DGA site .... scale 1:30 and smaller scale than 1:50

good luck with paper models

Thanks Yoav. I plan on tackling your F-16 model as soon as I'm done with the Airbus A330 model I'm currently working on. Your attention to detail is impressive. I just checked out the DGA site, thanks for the hard work you put into those and for offering it to all of us!

You decided to build a complicated model.
Why did you choose to start with a complex and complicated model like the F-16 ?

and again good luck

They are currently not on my list.

And nothing can be done, I will not be able to build all the Israeli Air Force planes in one lifetime.

Unlike most people who only build models, I plan and build the models and it takes me between 4-6 months to plan And to build one model ... and unfortunately there is not enough time in the world to do everything.

take care my friend

Yoav - have you thought of maybe doing one of the Meteor variants before moving on to the prop aircraft?

[YOAVHOZMI]

I'm sorry friends, but I do not make versions for my models....otherwise, I will never get out of it.

From every jet fighter that served in the Israeli Air Force I do only one model, and usually this model is the model I like the most.

I hope this can remain a hobby for you and not get to be a chore. The airframes you design remain things of wonder and whatever they are bring a smile to the faces of many people. Thanks for letting us see the process.

Well the reason is two-fold. First I love working on detailed things and secondly, I want to build something that I can display in my home office and never throw away . Besides, the picture tutorials you put together with your models is really good so I think it will help tremendously in building it.

Now that the IAF has the F-35 in operation, do you plan on designing this model in the future?

Thanks,
Joe
