..... and where can I get one please?

Someone has said it's the Xtrakit Meteor and it's only GBP6.99. You can get them from Airfix direct, or Hannants themselves, which I find surprising as it's half the cost of the Xtrakit kit and almost three times cheaper than the MPM offering, which if it is the Xtrakit kit, then it's the MPM kit.

Thanks it's on the Hannants' web site now' it was not there a day or so ago. So I should be able to pick one up locally in a week or two. Cheers

Got mine in Croydon Modelzone yesterday.

Looking and comparing it would appear to be the MPM/Special Hobby/Xtrakit moulds without the resin. Nice transfer sheet RAF/BAF. Was causing a little commotion in MZ, mainly because it was almost un-announced

joto hobbies on lawrence sheriff st [and opposite rugby school] in rugby may have a couple left.....

see elsewhere for the one of theirs that's now in my stash!

I'll have to have a look for a Brazillian decal sheet!

The Xtrakit/MPM kit didn't have resin, it was a straight styrene kit. Then of course we got hit by a glut of resin sets for it by CMK, the aftermarket arm of MPM.

Local model shop had two in yesterday. Tempting........

Ooops, just checked and your right - swore it did, must be that after market bang-seat I stuck in the box

Got one, and at half the price of the Xtrakits/MPM versions the thought of chopping up to make a PR.10 doesn't seem scary!!
PS nice decal sheet inside.

I have a "Rareplanes" vac-formed conversion of the Mk VIII if anyone wants one. Plus a NF 14 vac.

I've got the FR version in the stash which I started at the end of last year. Superb little kit, goes together with very little effort - really must get around to finishing it soon. At £6.99 the Airfix version is just 'affordably ripe' for Whiffing. Thunderbirds version anybody ?
