1/48 DH.100 Vampire - FINISHED


Doug Rogers

Recommended Posts

Made a start today, decided to make this one 'in a state of flying'. So I've extracted the pilot from an Airfix Spitfire F22/24 box and been preparing him for a new career in jet aviation. 

Glued up the undercarriage covers which fitted surprisingly well, just a smidge of filler to be done on a few places. 

Painted the cockpit black and dry brushed with white oil paint, not that you're going to see much of it with the pilot in situ.

I'll get a few pics up tomorrow. 

Decided to go with the Grey/Green/Silver scheme.

Cheers me ducks...

OK, cockpit is painted up and together;

Spent a couple of hours painting up the pilot.

To find that although he fits in the seat...just, the canopy doesn't close with him in it.

 

So a quick rummage in the spares dept found this;

He's a good deal less bulky than the Airfix Spit pilot;

So the fuselage is together;

Hoping to get a bit more done today.
