And I call that done. Added the dual boom antennnas missing from the kit. Also replaced the Pitot tube which broke during construction.
I want to build another one now…using the other marking option. £8 a pop…I think i might.
That’s so cool… love the progress successtion pics. Really unique aircraft. So with respect to the pieces you have on the “toothpicks”, how are you afixing them to the wooden pikes? The purpose of that is for airbrush type spray painting? I’m on my first kit and hand painting all the little pieces which are held in clamps. Needless to say my clamps are already covered in lots of different color paints from where I went outside the lines :-/.
Hi mate, yes I simply use Blu-Tac to fix the bits to the sticks. No big mystery.
Nice build of an interesting plane that you don’t see much.

Nice build there. I have been thinking about adding a Vamp to the stash. You just pushed me closer.

Looks really nice that day glow orange really pops
Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement on this build. Loved the kit so much i have just gone and bought another…[:)]
Going to finish this in the other markings that come with the kit. I shall post the finished article in a few weeks, displayed alongside this one.
That’s a great looking Vampire and very nice work in the cockpit for that scale! : )
As promised, Vampire number 2 completed.
…now maybe some aftermarket decals and a camouflaged one next…
Very well done on this great looking model
I have always been a fan of the boom tail aircraft and this one will eventually find it’s way into my stash I’m sure. .
Im a big fan of natural metal finishes what aluminum paint did you use. and the jet looks awesome
