Rabbit Leader Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Patrice, Nice start, those seats look great. Just one observation, I'm a little doubtful that Xtradecal's profile of A79-819 is correct. I'm always happy to be proven wrong but I think it's either the yellow and black striped tail fins over silver or dayglo trim over silver - but not both. Hopefully photographic evidence exists to prove Xtradecals correct, however I haven't seen one for this Vampire in those colours yet. http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/gallery/DH-Vampire-A79-819a Cheers..
