Whilst working on my 1/72 concorde i needed a gap filler and at the top of the pile was the Airfix Vampire. Not only was this my first finished kit of 2017 but also my first airbrushed model. She wins no prizes in terms of paint finish but she has finished well enough to be displayed. The Vampire is painted with valejjo silver and humbrol 24 matt trainer yellow. The kit went together very well only leaving slight gaps in the lower wing joins and the exhaust can was too thick and needed to be sanded down to fit. Otherwise a great model. Only additions to the model was the seatbelts made from masking tape and the ejector handles from wire. Here are some pictures of here in her glorious finish. Thankyou for looking.

Well here s one just for fun, Airfix's little Vampire Trainer in 1/72nd scale. I needed a break from a big project build and the magazine reviews I have been doing lately and as this one sat at the top of the to do pile, so I dived in. A full Eduard etched cockpit replaces the instrument decals supplied in the kit and helps to add a little detail else where too. The seats are treated to belts and ejector firing handles to add visual interest. Painted with Alclad High Speed Silver and Gunze Insignia Yellow for the stripes. It would appear that the Alclad is a new formula and I was not too impressed with the results, as it seemed a little harder to achieve a the usual nice finish. Decals are from Xtradecal depicting a 43 Sqd machine during the 1950's Overall a fun little project that took just over a week to complete. Thanks for looking Rick G
