I tip my hat to you TJK. 👍👍
I'm afraid that I would have given up after opening the box. 😁

Fantastic job! 👍👍
I really need to make an effort to finish mine off. It's been lying dormant for a couple of years now. 🥺

Great looking Vamp! We miss seeing them flying with the museum.
Unfortunately the only two pilots that were current on Vampires, both died a few years ago in a plane crash, flying one of the Museums other aircraft.
They've been grounded ever since.
Glad that the vampires are still intact even though they are a long way from "home".😁
Really sorry to read about the pilots .

My take on the 1/48 Airfix Vampire FB.5/FB.9, dressed up as a South African Air Force Vampire FB.52 (216) of the Advanced Flying School based in Pietersburg (c1968).
The real aircraft was transferred to the Rhodesian Air Force in January 1975 (R1829) before being withdrawn from use on 18 February 1981. (It subsequently ended up in Australia - Old Aeroplane Company - Tyabb.)
- Eurodecals ED48103 used - be warned that the instructions incorrectly show the "boom" springboks facing towards the tail.
- Hataka Paint set (HTK-CS70) used for the Airframe silver and fluorescent orange 👍👍
- Eduard ED3DL48137 Space instrument decals and etched seatbelts
I've been struggling with a couple of civvy builds, so this proved to be an enjoyable diversion 😁
Thanks for looking.

Great to see that the Zvezda kit builds up so well as I have a couple in "storage" 👍👍
As for the colour scheme, tones of Royal Jordanian come to mind, although they never flew the 757 👍
Thanks for the inspiration.

Great job Matt. 👍👍
You're really setting the standard for home-made decals (and their application) ! 😁

Cracking job Tom. I'm hoping that your build will inspire me to finish off the BPK model that I started in '21.....🤔

I don't often stop by at this service station, but I'd heard rumours that you had actually finished something? 😁
What a corker of a build 👍👍

Fantastic job John. 👍👍
I'm afraid that mine got snagged on finals after running out of "Boeing grey". Hoping to have it finished in the next week or three... 😁

Great job, Dave. 👍👍
I'm currently dealing with a "cheatline around an engine fairing" issue myself, and I've had to take some rather extraordinary measures.

I built the Revell kit sometime ago, and to be honest, I found it to be a bit of a struggle (the paint scheme may have had something to do with that!)
You've done a cracking job. 👍👍

Boeing 707-320C Simbair 1/72 Heller Kit
in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft

Great build and colour scheme Alex 👍👍
Glad to see the Heller 707 built to such a high standard. I've had one in the stash for more years than I care to remember, so your build will be providing inspiration for the future.
Best Regards
