I am likely the first builder of the Meteor from Jilles' plans. I was talking to him one day at a fly-in about a work colleague who had a close friend who helped restore one at some time when the region was Yugoslavia. That is when I began to take an interest in building a model of it and I guess so did Jilles look at the challenge of drawing it up. Eventually after some email correspondence he had drawn the plan. I provided what information I could find. Nearly went with 1/4 scale but I ended up requesting 1/3. Jilles, if you don't know, is an absolutely top guy and phenomenal modeller.
I have attached a sample of images I've taken during the build. I'm slowly planking the fuselage at this time. Slow being the operative word, due work and some time off for some surgeries. I have a good stretch of building time coming up soon so will make good progress again. Almost time to start the wings.
