Wez Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Patrice, Great to see you making the lovely old Heller kit and doing it justice. Word of caution, there is some debate as to the colour of the sharks mouth for the 112Sqn markings. Modeldecal issued a corrected version of these markings based upon information from an ex-squadron member, see this thread here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtarget Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think i have this boxing as well as the Revell re-issue of the MB kit. Gotta love an old kit and doping them justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love an old kit and doping them justice. Matchbox never did a Vampire although Revell did issue the Heller kit, if you compare your respective kits you should see they're the same.
