Allan, from a rather poor plastic kit you made the most of it, nice NMF indeed
Thank you Pedro, painted silver !
Great build Allan. The aluminium lacquer finish is very realistic.
Thank you Haslam.
Another great finish Allan, nice to follow in the GB.
Thank you George, good to have you along !
Great result after all that hard work, definitely liked.
Thank you George.

Very nice and clean work Allan.
Thank you DE4EVER.
By only seeing the headline pic, I knew it would be your work, Allan!
Congratulations on another excellent model. It was nice to follow your build thread!
Thank you Spiros and for following !
A nice golden (silver) oldie, Allan.
That Vampire looks great in silver.
Thank you John.
It was a joy to follow this great heavy breather conversion Allan! Great result from an old kit.
Thank you Erik, for the GB and following !
A real beauty , Allan!
Thanks Robert.
You made it to the finish line and your Vampire looks terrific.
You gotta love those old Grand Canyon panel lines! Looking forward to your next batch.
Thanks Eric, the canyons are my doing, the kit has raised lines !
Sorry Allan. I guess I didn't catch that about the raised panel lines. You really went to a heck of of of extra work in that case. I mistook them for the old Airfix panel lines. Duh. My sincere apologies.
Thanks Eric, apology accepted, although unnecessary !
Allan,
I knew right away this was one of your builds. As usual the canopy is spotless... 🙂
I have been watching your multiple builds in the De-Havilland group. This one turned out exceptionally nice.
I also pressed the "liked" button. Well done my friend.
Thank you Louis.
Very smooth metallic finish on your Vampire, Allan. I am sure it looks like a small jewel on you shelf. The Vampire has such nice lines. It is interesting how much British aeronautical engineers were dedicated to twin boom jets with the Vampire, Venom, Sea Venom and Sea Vixen series.
Thank you Colin.
Looks great as always, and those air intakes give the Vamp an even more ominous demeanor!
Thank you Greg, they do look different !
That is a cool little plane. Nicely done!
Thanks Chris.
