Much of 2022 has been focussed on building 3 DH Vampires, based on the new Airfix kit. 

This is the back story

 

 

The results are here, ready for inspection.....

 

 

The pair of F1s, Nose to Nose, airfix to the left, Hobbycraft o the right

The Airfix kit is based on the F3, and looks about right. The  Hobbycraft kit is wrong, in so many places.

This photo of the undersides shows the full horror of the undercarriage and the jet pipe, in relation to the trailing edge of the wing, on the Hobbycraft kit.

And now from the three quater perspective.

And now the Airfix F3, straight from the box.....

And finally, from the front three quarter.

I think that is me done with early jets, for now.

Great Vampires. Also to be able to compare Airfix vs. Hobbycraft offerings side by side.

 

Cheers,
