I’ve never built a Vampire, but after seeing the plethora of Vampires lately, it’s beginning to grow on me…..(glad ya didn’t paint the green on the tail). 🙁

Thanks Craig, what green ?

Another nice looking little Vamp! Are those airbrakes coming up off the wings? From the back/side, it appears they are just a portion of the wing that pivots into an airbrake.

Thanks Greg, that’s right, hinged in the middle, sticks up and down, revisit A78-1 for a better view.

Wonderful jets you have built. (Your eyes are much better than mine.) I can’t build 1/72 scale anymore. Very nice work indeed. Thanks for posting these beautiful planes.
