Lord Riot Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 My first build of 2021, and a nice simple one to get back into it. This Special Hobby Vampire is a nice little kit and fits together really well. It does need a lot of nose weight though! I made this one out of the box, including the decals for 601 Sqn. 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112 Squadron Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 A beautiful jet from the last years of the RAuxAF. Their planes were always kept in a pristine condition and had a very elegant appearance. This is a nice build of a real classic. It reminds me on my last visit to the Hendon Museum where a Vampire in 601 Squadron colors is on display. I also like the Meteor that can be seen in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Thanks for the likes and comments gents. It certainly is very small, only about a 6 inch wingspan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 A charming Vampire in some very colourful period markings. Small but perfectly formed! Thanks for sharing Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJ Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Nice to see a North Weald Vampire portrayed. I retired from North Weald Ops just over a year ago. We were lucky to have the two Norwegian Vampires use the Airfield as a base over several summers for air shows, so the sound of a Goblin has been heard there more recently as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used a standard spray paint I found via Google, it’s probably not accurate enough for serious pros or rivet counters but it looks like silver to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
