VG 33 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Here are my new builds with these two De Havilland Vampire FB Mk.5 fighters, in French guise. First is an overall sea blue from Escadrille de Servitude 57S, Marine nationale, based at Port-Lyautey in 1960 and next is an Armée de l'air camouflaged one from Escadron de Calibration EC2/17 based at Creil AFB in 1956. Both of them are the 1/72 Special Hobby kit and easy to assemble. To be seen tomorrow at the Belgian Scale Convention, Putte (Pallieterland) and to be published in the French magazine WingMasters N°104.

VG 33 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Thank you very much. Every space in front of the instrument panel is filled with lead which is just enough. Patrick Edited December 15, 2014 by VG 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
