ForestFan Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi, here's a fun build of the excellent Airfix Vampire T.11. The photos actually make it looks a little rougher than she looks in real life (honest!) Xtradecals used for a a 43 Sqn a/c late 1950s. Used AK Extreme Metal paint and xtracrylic for the yellow (the bands on the wings are a little too wide - d'oh!) \Thanks for looking and Happy new Year Untitled by bryn robinson, on Flickr Untitled by bryn robinson, on Flickr Untitled by bryn robinson, on Flickr IMG_2442 by bryn robinson, on Flickr 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 What's that AK paint like? I'm always put off doing an NMF due to mishaps of my own making and I want to do a Kiwi T11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Rhodes Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Very nice! Got two in the stash and the same Xtradecal sheet, must remember to build a different one! ;-) Darren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 What's that AK paint like? I'm always put off doing an NMF due to mishaps of my own making and I want to do a Kiwi T11 I found the AK paints easy to use. I did paint over a grey primer coat as like any quality NMF paint it is thin and shows any blemish underneath. Give them a try, I always avoided metal finishes but this is the 3rd on the row I've done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
