Calum Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I had a couple of the new Airfix Vampires in my “For Sales pile that weren’t looking like being sold anytime soon and after looking at the plastic over few beers one evening I figured it looked simple enough that I could it smash it together in a couple of weeks. Bar the undercarriage, this was an extremely enjoyable build. The kit goes together really quickly and there is minimal clean up required. For me the detail is adequate for the subject and scale. I think it took under 15 hours of build time from box opening to it going in the cabinet. If I build another it will be done wheels up to make the build even simpler (and quicker). Full details at my blog but here are some photos. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3QWksPJvUTRTu99uAmBaMHwIY3FHEuelefHJtZUTSunj26bSnEVwlwgCnw7XrcpwcHs-Dp3yYLzw1HU9Puqjzt6uEy_EGGT_EDsZ9aAjKNW7cIErQwiCrWCQBlGgJ73ZHGa_MmNHTSaJy2q1rJfSGeajWzduXCVqxsvRcs4fPycwLb64pHYD5nQEv/s16000/Vampire-FB5-25.jpg 38 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
