Aluminium ACRA18 applied to
them, the extra depth shone
through. Heavily diluted Lifecolor
Tensocrom Oil (TSC203) provided
a worn and grimy appearance in
the bays.
Scale Aircraft Conversions’new white metal
legs (32-082)
may also be a
sensible idea as
the model is heavy.
To complement the
metal legs, Eduard’s Brassin
resin wheels (EDU632041) werepainted and
made ready
to go with the
SAC items. The kit
wheels were not bad,
though, and came with
a slightly flat spot that many
modellers will appreciate.Interestingly, the aircraft
intended to be built seemed to
have the undercarriage legs and
wheels in blue, rather than the
accustomed mundane aluminium.
Therefore, Colourcoats’ ACRN
RAF PRU Blue was chosen and
looked extremely attractive.INTERMEDIATE BUILD

the undercarriage

weak to cope. White
metal replacements
from Scale Aircraft
Conversions were
employed for strength,
while substitute wheels
came from Eduard’s
Brassin range.A small piece of thin styrene strip was
needed to fill a gap on the top wing. Clamps
held the strip in situ until the glue cured.Well-thinned Lifecolor Matt White
was sprayed over the grey, and after ample
drying time was followed by Trainer Yellow.Look carefully and one
can see the mixed
shades of yellow. These
broke the monotony of
a single hue, and the
black would make this
stand out even further.14-21_Meteor.CC.indd 18 17/03/2015 14:
