TOPGUN88 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 hi guys I have an airfix vampire t11 kit I want to make into the old gate guard that used to sit on the gate at RAF Edzell scotland. a unique scheme as I cant find any history on it. there is a similar colour scheme of a vampire t11 in 1982. can anyone tell me the reason behind the scheme of WZ589 in what looks like a cream and green camouflage which the one at edzell looks like the same scheme also similar to the one at dumfries and galloway. tried contacting montrose to see if there are any photos of the plane bur they only have pics of It in pieces.

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I think you will find that that is not an authentic colour scheme. Note also that one of the ex Swiss T55s was painted up as WZ589 so be careful when searching for pics. Here she is in service with 56 Sqn according to the Key publishing forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN88 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 thankyou scimitar. I thought maybe they painted them to NF10s and not T11s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Could the cream be Light Stone from the old Middle East scheme? I suspect there were a few tins of that spare? There's reference to a photo HERE try asking them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
