Lord Riot Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The Vampire served with the RAF's 2TAF in Germany from 1948 until 1955. WA361 was based at Celle in Lower Saxony, Germany with number 16 squadron, which flew Vampires from December '48 until replacing them with Venoms in 1954. I used a few different decals for this one; firstly big thanks to @Wez for the Vampire Modeldecals set! I used the Heller kit roundels apart from those on the boom which had the red dot in a weird place, so these came from a Bulldog kit - they look virtually the same size. For the underwing serials I used Xtradecals 24", then spares from another Vampire and a Tornado for the tailboom serials. Finally, the L was from the Revell Vampire and the K from a Swift serial! I used filler for the extended starboard intake. Apart from that she was OOB. Colour is silver auto-spray. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well done, nice to see it finished and in a nice scheme - well done! What's next, a 613 Sqn RAuAF Vampire in camouflage? Glad to have helped with the decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Cheers Wez! The next Vampire I build will definitely be the 613 sqn camo one, yes! Tempted by a Meteor NF next, but things could change ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
