de Havilland DH 100 F1 Vampire, A78-1, ARDU RAAF Point Cook Vic 1947.
1/72 Airfix, my second Vampire, I modified and replaced a few things, finished in Tamiya and MM enamels with Future and Matt Cote or Micro flat over kit and spare Aussie decals.

Nice build, Allan...I like that scheme, too.
Thanks Craig.
Aussie, aussie, aussie! Looking good indeed. Like the simple colour scheme.
Thanks Stellan.
Very neat, Allan, looks bigger that 1/72.
Thanks George.
Lovely build, well done 🙂
Thanks Bernd.
Allan, pretty little airplane! Is that Australian standards PRU Blue undersides?
How many did the RAAF end up with? Hard to imagine that the nacelle is partly wood. Wooden jet fighter! Good old DH! They made them pretty. And they worked.
Got to watch them woodpeckers, though.
Thanks Bernard, RAF high altitude jet fighter scheme as delivered with RAAF markings, 7 British built, 4 T22s for RAN and 190 built by DHA at Bankstown Sydney, 6 for RAN.
Great looking build! I'm also curious about the underside - what exactly is that color?
Thanks Greg, MM 2061 - RAF P.R.U. blue with Tamiya XF16 on top.
Love your Aussie builds,
Thanks Robert, still more to come.
nice
Thanks P.k.
