dbay133 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Hi After completing the 1:32 Tornado I felt I needed something easier to build, so went for the Airfix 1:72 Vampire T11 as a straight OOB build. I found the kit really enjoyable with a good fit generally. The decals however were very difficult to work with. The vast number of very small decals were hard on the old eyes and I managed to lose one or two that folded, flipper or otherwise got messed up. The larger orange decals were very brittle especially on the compound curves on the nose and the tail booms. On to the images. Thanks for looking.

Spitfire31 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 She looks excellent! A very attractive blood sucker, and you apparently managed to wrestle those infamous dayflos into snug submission. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayprit Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Nice build, its a shame they are spoilt by the Photobucket logo, is it not possible to fade those logos a bit to see the full detail of your work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I did get to a point of thinking that I would have been better doing the Swedish version. If I had hair I would have pulled it out. 3 hours ago, Spitfire31 said: She looks excellent!

Kind regards, Joachim Thanks, the dayglo was fighting back at every stage but there was satisfaction when it was finally finished. 2 hours ago, rayprit said: Nice build, its a shame they are spoilt by the Photobucket logo, is it not possible to fade those logos a bit to see the full detail of your work? Thanks. I don't get the logo showing, but maybe because it is my account. I will have a look at Photobucket and see if there is any way to change it. 2 hours ago, neil5208 said: Nice Vampire, are all the dayglo decals? Thanks. Yes the decal sheet has acres of dayglo on it.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blurring problem is because I have exceeded the new hosting limit that restricts free hosters to 25MB of hosting bandwidth beginning June 1, 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
