Great stuff Rick!
With this "mojo seeker" done...what's next?

Robin

Thanks for your continued interest Robin! I am not quite done but shouls be by next week. I have parts spread all over My workbench for a JG71 Sabre Mk. 6 so that is where I will start. As for My usual habit of building two at once.....something WW1 is in order

I am nearing the end of this build but I have encountered issues...of My own making. I was down to the point of weathering when I took this photo and noticed the right Nacelle had a sudden crack and depression not there previously. My thought is that I melted it while using a hair dryer on the wing roundels  So filled and will sand out and touch up paint.

Have to watch those hairdryers Rick,I cleverly warped a Tamiya Meteor fuselage trying to persuade its crappy decals with one.

[Alexis]

Ouch indeed

This one is certainly testing your resilience, I'd say you were doing pretty well

Stick at it, nearly there!

It is Mostly due to My own Mistakes. I was hoping to have it finished before New Years Day

Oh dear Rick - this really does seem to have a jinx on it. However I am certain that you will put the problem right in no time and that we will be presented with the finishhed model shortly. At least I hope that we will!

Such a beautiful aircraft.  Congratulations on such a fine result!
I hear that the HK kit even comes with a 1/144 version in the same box.  That alone would make it very tempting for me.  If only WNW would do the same!  A fellow can dream at least.

Thanks Stephen! I have filled and sanded the Hair dryer damage and attached the canopies. I have done some Moderate weathering. I just need to do the touch up paint and a bit more weatherin g and it will be finished....I hope

Thanks for dropping in William..and for the kind comment. I really have become a Fan of the Meteor and wish someone would do an F8 in 1/32nd. I am even Tempted to get a few 1/48th kits, Tamiya and Airfix. Not sure yet but Maybe    Finally, yes a 1/144th F4 was included. Very basic but nice outline. I have it assembled OOB and painted silver. No decals were included which I find strange and frustrating!

This is a great looking result, Rick.  I'm looking forward to see the final results. 
I also hope this build has helped you regain your motivation to continue building models.
