AdrianMF Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Gorgeous modelling and a great scheme. You couldn't get more Swiss with the backdrop if you tried, either! Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuraiwarrior Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 That is absolutely Fabulous! At first when I saw the pictures with the backdrop I thought I was looking at the real thing. Superb modelling. That scheme and the quality of the finish......Sublime. Thanks for sharing Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopesdaddy Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Excellent looking Vampire, the Swiss Alps background could have one confused with an actual plane. Great work and excellent looking photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themistokles Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) I remember seeing them to fly around as a child since they were in service in Switzerland until 1990! I highly recommend this sequence of the Swiss Army propaganda movie "Wehrhafte Schweiz" (English title: "Fortress of Peace": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_of_Peace) from 1964, when Switzerland with a population of 5.8 Million people did afford to have a militia army of 880'000 active service men! The movie was even Oscar-nominated and you can see Hunters and Vampires in active sevice: The full 20minutes movie can be downloaded from this Swiss governmental page in German, French, Italian - and English! I think some of you nostalgic military nerds will just love it! Enjoy... https://www.historic.admin.ch/media/video/ae396df0-f603-4b12-a0d9-bd8a6d6e5fed Edited May 11, 2023 by Themistokles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Great work, I can only imagine how challenging it was to mask and paint a vampire in 1/72, it looks really good! Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
