Don`t let me stop you,..... I for one really want to see it! I'm only pulling your leg - I love seeing other people's models, especially when they're as tidy-looking as this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Many years ago, many, many years ago I and a bunch of my buddies in 493 were marched past what seemed like miles of T11s parked in a row ready for disposal at an airfield in Wet Yorkshire*. They all managed to look like yours. We'd been punted out of Linton-On-Ouse for air experience (They were never going to let us loose in Jet Provosts, dammit!) in the hope the cloud base would rise and we would get some minutes in our little Form 3822 logbooks, sadly mine shows no flying minutes in August 63 so it doesn't name the wet blooming field we stamped around under the care(?) of a less than happy RAF corporal denied his fags and char for a while. I can never remember if the name on the gate when we arrived was Dishforth or Driffold! All immaterial, unlike your beautiful Vamp. She is a beauty. Nice one Tone. *sadly not a typo... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thanks mate,... that is very kind of you. Could have been Dishford or Driffield I suppose,.... I would guess at the former. Shame about Linton closing recently,..... dare say it will be yet another new village.

Nymfen Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 All those black lines are barely visible on the real thing. Therefore, they should not be visible on a small model to a 1/72 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have overdone it,...... and I agree that on a well looked after Vampire with clean paintwork hardly anything could be seen, .....but,..... the aircraft that I was replicating was quite weathered by the tropical conditions and in the photos that I was working from panel lines were definitely visible.

112 Squadron Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Beautiful model of a classic jet that served with airforces of so many countries including Austria which operated four T 55 and five T 11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate,........ a classic jet indeed,...... Airfix were onto something making Vampire kits because they served with so many air forces,..... I do like the Swiss Mk.I`s with the MSG/ PRU Blue finish. 5 minutes ago, djos said: Very nice model, i like the finish and subtle weathering Regards Djordje Thank you Djordje, glad you like the weathering,...... some people have said that they don`t,....... I think that I may have over done it a bit, but the real aircraft was quite dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
