Mr T Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I thought this might appear given that the early F1 canopy was already on the clear runners and the wingtips were there. Given that my resin F1 has suffered multiple u/c collapses, this is definitely on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaVenom Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Great and I was wondering when they were going to do more variants. It's not perfect but it's a nice little kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Wings seem to be same as in previous releases, i.e. slightly off. But overall its the second good Vampire kit following the ultimate Airfix's T.11. So good news MPM gives us Mk.1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_C Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) What is slightly off with the wings ?Wider chord leading to strange looking intakes and main undercarriage too forward.Reference to a great kit review in Russian: http://scalemodels.ru/articles/9111-Xtrakit-MPM-1-72-D-H--100-Vampire-FB-Mk-5-RAF-Service.html Also drawing clearly showing what's wrong with MPM wing: http://scalemodels.ru/images/2015/11/1446745130_026.jpg Not a really great error though - main effect is the strange intake as already noted elsewhere Edited February 2, 2016 by Dennis_C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaVenom Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) About time. I was wondering if we'd ever see it. Edited December 13, 2017 by SeaVenom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I believe that the corrected intakes were also included with the F.3 kit and looking at those sprue photos these (as well as the longer FB.9 intake) are also included with this version. To me, this looks like a great box of bits and will hopefully grab one soon after release. Cheers. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viscount806x Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 CMK are selling a pair of Mosquito style early drop tanks for this kit although I expect they will serve equally for the CMR resin kit, later versions of which only have the pylon mounted tanks included.

You might end up waiting some time, Special Hobby seem to take their time between releases - look at their excellent 1/72nd Mirage F.1, still not released as the classic F.1C in French markings yet! Personally, I'll be cobbling together some RAF markings of my own, I've always liked the MSG/PRU Blue colour scheme. I must say though, the Swedish scheme looks tempting.

Mike Esposito Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Will the RAF version include the bubble canopy? Seems there is a "framed" version as well... I wonder if they will eventually make a sea vampire mk 10? Edited April 26, 2018 by Mike Esposito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they will eventually make a sea vampire mk 10? The early framed canopy is on the clear runner as well as the bubble canopy in my Mk3 and 5 kits and so I think you will get both. A lot of Mk1's had the bubble canopy. I have a vague memory it came in after about the first 50 or so airframes, but I could be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I recall seeing images of this kit with decals for the RAAF evaluation aircraft A78-1, but I can’t remember where. Does anyone know if this is an option included with the RAF boxing of this SH model? Cheers. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
