A Brace of Vampires

[81-er]

A bit late as I actually finished these for the de Havilland GB, but this is a pair of Vampires built from the Airfix 1/72 T-11 kit, both with Xtradecal decals and home-designed & 3d printed stands (and engine exhausts) to display them in flight.

De Havilland Vampire T11, J-305 (ex-WZ512)

Grupo 8, Chilean Air Force 1973-1974

Best looking vampires I’ve seen since that Twilight fella. Particularly enamoured of the Rhodesian scheme- well done!

[RidgeRunner]

Very nice, James. The Chilean machine caught my eye but I have to say that Rhodesian one looks great

Very nice pair of Vampires, James.  I wish I’d caught more of the builds.  Clever stands n’all.  Like them.

Thanks Steve  I've had a lot of comments either at my club or at shows about the stands, seems like you're not alone in liking them. I even had the chap from the Airfix magazine asking about them at Brampton last weekend, so they may pop up in that at some point. I'll have them with me at Telford, if you fancy a look in person
