    Having read carefully through this thread and thought about Vampire interiors a fair bit, I am going to tentatively suggest canary yellow (make sure to get the right spec pink for the Bakelite seat though).

    I'm in! I do find the North Africa campaign fascinating, as I do Procopius builds, not that I can ever keep up!

    I flipping love Gladiators so I will follow. Nice choice on the Battle of France scheme, hope you can pin down the colours and codes to your satisfaction! I seem to remember that quite a lot of squadron codes were changed around the outbreak of war as a security measure, hence the shift from RR to KW during the latter half of 1939.

    Just caught up with this thread, what a cracking build! The green looks really good to me...
  5. Vulcanicity
    Nice one!

    Superb model, those masked airbrushed Hinomarus look spot on and very impressive in 1:72. The kit looks amazing too, for me Arma Hobby are the most exciting model company anywhere today

    A lovely model, and as Lewis said the photography is spot on, some of those photos look like aerial shots of the real thing taxying out

    Superb little Vampire, I like your pilot figure painting too!

    Beautiful job, for me the Victor in its early "clean" state was the most beautiful postwar aircraft Britain produced. You'll have to try taking your modelling equipment to uni, I ended up having a portable bag of modelling gear which went in my packing, and took one or two small-sized projects with me each term which did wonders for my sanity, if not my productivity! Even now, ten years later I still do the same on overnight work trips, modelling greatly improves nights stuck in bleak Travelodge a!

    Nice work

    A lovely collection and tribute to the early days of the USAAF fighters in Europe (plus Mediterranean!)

    Lovely! Not a type I know anything at all about looks like a Japanese attempt to emulate the B-29...

    Yes I was thinking of "purely" French designs so discounting joint ventures like the Jaguar, Puma etc. I also wasn't really thinking about types like the Qinetiq Alpha Jet and the Dewoitine which didn't see " regular" Service use. I had however totally forgotten the Squirrel and the Alouette - there goes the old ingrained prejudice against helicopters! 😳

    I would sand or strip just the affected area, having first masked off at a panel line, so that any visible joint between "old" and "new" paint is at the panel joint and is hidden (or looks like a field repainting job on the real aircraft)

    I wonder when the last French aircraft purchased by the British armed forces was? I'm guessing a SPAD of some variety in about 1917?
  16. Vulcanicity
    Ah, that makes sense on a second and third look at the photo. I was mis-categorising the visible part of the vertical fin of the torpedo air tail as part of the airman's jacket, which made the rest of it look a lot like a small turret with a machine gun. I think the artist of that profile of White 30 made the same mistake!

    For what it's worth I have never seen this on an RAF Hampden so I'm guessing it's a Soviet mod. That said I'm sure I've seen that photo before and not noticed it either!

    A lovely little Buffalo, and thanks for the backstory! One tends to only remember the defence of Malaya and Singapore so it's nice to see the type's role in Crete represented. Crikey, the Fulmar must have been even slower than I thought for the Buffalo to represent a welcome improvement!
  19. Vulcanicity
    That's superb, and well done for battling that terrible resin wing! I hate it when you blow loads of money on an aftermarket set which is worse than the kit part!
  20. Vulcanicity
    Very nice job, and what a collection! I presume a Hornet is in the pipeline? I guess there is a Phantom and Meteor to do as well.

    Another alternative, if you can get hold of a scrap Frog kit, is to cut off the rear fuselage at the joint and graft onto the Airfix, which gives you a correctly-sized, if rudimentary pair of exhausts. I did this about 10 years ago, and had enough Frog kit left over to make a "looks OK from a distance" FAW. 1 with a scratch built pen nib exhaust.
  22. Vulcanicity
    Very smart build, well done
  23. Vulcanicity
    Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! Who needs grey when you have Technicolour like that?
  24. Vulcanicity
    Lovely job! I have this kit to built, how was it?
  25. Vulcanicity
    Superb!
