I would love to build a WWII-era Meteor, in 1/72nd scale; and it seems that the old Airfix kit is the only way to go. Does anyone know of an on-line collection of good reference photos, such as in a "walk around" format? There are several nice sets on Hyperscale, but they are of postwar models. Obviously, the cockpit details would be drastically different on these later versions; but what about such things as wheel wells, flap, and speed brake details? Would they be similar to the Mark III?

I don't know alot about the meteor but having a quick look on the web

the Mk4 had a longer nacelle due to heavy compressed buffeting at high speed. You may then be able to make it shorter for the Mk.III?
Cheers, Stephen.
