binbrook87 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Hi all.. Recently completed, nice straightforward build but the Dayglo orange nearly sent me mad! In the end after several brush paints and repaints I invested in an airbrush and started again. Paints are from Vallejo, their flourescent orange from the Model Air range is very nice indeed. Decals are aftermarket from Xtradecal for an RAF College Cranwell machine. And with other Airfix stablemates made recently....

Farmerboy Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Nice collection you’ve got there, worth persevering with the dayglo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 A cracking looking Vampire. My favourite scheme on the type. A nice collection too. Are you going to add a JP3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The Vamp is really appealing in those colors. Lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the comments...yes the JP3 is in the pipeline although not sure which dayglo scheme to go for yet...solid colours or those tricky stripes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Very nice indeed. As noted above, your dayglo finish was worth persevering with. I especially like the contrast between the dayglo on both Vampires and the Gnat. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the contrast between the dayglo on both Vampires and the Gnat. Terry Thanks very much. The differing Dayglo is because I've used paint for the '29' airframe and decals for the 'K' bird. There's actually differing shades of orange within the same decals (you can see on the wings) which is a bit annoying...but i suppose possibly realistic as i believe they faded badly in real life.

woody37 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 That's lovely. Far too small for my eyes now to try and build one but you've detailed it well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdauben Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 It seems like you have a thing for orange! Your perseverance has paid off though, as that's a really nice looking Vampire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
