De Havilland Vampire J-28, Airfix 1/72


Recommended Posts

Lovely build of a J 28C (no '-' between type letter and type number…) with markings from the F 14 wing at Halmstad on the Swedish west coast.

 

The J 28 was much loved by pilots, its only vice being that it was too easy to fly. 😉 You could turn it without touching the rudder pedals and while not a problem in itself, it made pilots less well equipped to take on the swept-wing SAAB J 29 which did demand judicious rudder control, especially during landing at low speed and with flaps deployed.

 

Great model!

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim
