Hello Here are my last three builds with these Special Hobby 1/72 De Havilland Vampires: 1 – DH.100 Vampire Mk.I, RAF No.54 Squadron, Odiham April 1948. 2 – DH.100 Vampire Mk.I, Swedish Air Force No.1 Squadron, Norrköping 1947. 3 – DH.100 Vampire Mk.III, Mexican Air Force, Escuadron Aéreo 200, Santa Lucia, Mexico City 1961-70 The first two models and decorations came from the Special Hobby SH7238 & SH72339 boxes. The third came from the decal sheet AztecModels 72-041, even if the model is the reference SH72279. Patrick

Hello Adrian I like them very much and yes I am lucky enough to have bought a Sword double kit box of this nice Italian fighter. Patrick

Hello This is very nice. Congratulations. Sadly I bought only two of them and I cannot make the same series as you. Maybe if I find another kit at a good price. Patrick

Hello This is a very nice camouflaged Viggen in the gentlemen scale. As you I used and cope with the maestro masks as this is the best way to get a nice camo. The difference for me was that I built three Viggen of them at the same time. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Marcel This is very nice and remembers me that I have both boxes from Azur in my stash. Thank you for sharing this little lovely flying machine. Patrick

Hi Heather I have followed this build from the start and once again you mastered it. Patrick

Hi Libor You mastered this kit and I like it very much. This one is somewhere in my stash as well. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Eric This is a fantastic build. The funny thing is I have to build the same kit this year for a friend of mine. Actually he bought the kit when he went to England at the time we were both at school in 1972. When I see yours I know it is possible to make her in NMF. Thank you for sharing. Cheers. Patrick

Hi Allan The extension is 40" on the real aircraft and in 1/72 I added 14,1 mm. Patrick

Hello This is a new mold with a many more details. The NF MK 13 will come but I do not know when. Patrick Meteor 8 Meteor 11/12/13/14

Hi I agree with you as this Meteor series made by MPM/Special Hobby/FRROM are a great one. So far I have built a NF Mk 11, a NF Mk 12, a T Mk 7 and an F Mk 8. But I have many others to complete the series. For the PRU Blue a good source is the Hataka range. Patrick

Hello This is very nice. This one is scheduled as well. Patrick

Hi Manu This is very nice and I think that this family should be reissued in both scales. Patrick

A great place ! Anyway your 109 is very nice. Patrick

Hi Libor The Magister looks well as a warrior. very nice kit. Patrick

Hi David This is very nice. Patrick

Very nice. I love these colours. Patrick

See above. Patrick

Thank you very much. I used Gunze H27 Tan for the Light Earth. Patrick

Hello Here is my last build with this 1/72 Special Hobby Gloster Meteor F. Mk.8 in the Syrian Air Force around 1956. Actually this is the old MPM / Xtrakit dated back to 2006 which was reissued this year with different markings about Middle Eastern Air Forces. I chose the Syrian one as I liked this scheme with light earth / dark green over blue. I used PRU blue because I saw a colour picture and it is consistent with most RAF fighters at the time which were dark sea grey / dark green over PRU Blue. But the discussion is open. Patrick

Hi Jean I love it as I did not built mine this year so weathered. Patrick

Hello I think the Azur Potez 631 instruction sheet would be helpful. Here Patrick

Hi Libor This is very nice and this kit seems better than the RS Model series. Patrick

No they will be both FRROM kits with the two different Junkers engines. Patrick

Hello This is very nice. I like very much those Romanian aircraft with roundels. I have a project around a couple of Savoia 79 B and B1 in the near future. Cheers. Patrick
