In his book "The Forgotten Few", Doug Hurst tells the story of the 77 RAAF Squadron in Korea.  He mentions normal styled wing tanks and also the use of a ventral tank.  In January of 1952 Meteors were equipped with 8 rail-mounted rockets and began an effective ground attack role.  Their faster exit speed was an advantage over the previously used Mustangs.

So now for something completely different: an Aussie Meteor with ventral tank and eight rockets.

Good evening fellow modelers, I have read the forum was very helpful, every thing that the review is true. when this model first came out, it was cheaper, so I bought two. The first one I built as instructed. Now in this review it mentioned lack of under wing stores. I have no idea what these stubby wings could possibly hold. I hope some one can enlighten on the under wing stores.......I want to build this one different. thanks for any input...will be appreciated
