Allan, from a rather poor plastic kit you made the most of it, nice NMF indeed

A nice golden (silver) oldie, Allan.
That Vampire looks great in silver.
Allan J Withers said on February 6, 2021
Thank you John.

It was a joy to follow this great heavy breather conversion Allan! Great result from an old kit.

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.
Allan J Withers said on February 6, 2021
Thanks Eric, the canyons are my doing, the kit has raised lines !!
Eric Berg said on February 7, 2021
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.
Allan J Withers said on February 8, 2021
Thanks Eric, apology accepted, although unnecessary !!
Louis Gardner said on February 6, 2021
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.
Allan J Withers said on February 6, 2021
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.
Allan J Withers said on February 8, 2021
Thank you Colin.
Greg Kittinger said on February 8, 2021
Looks great as always, and those air intakes give the Vamp an even more ominous demeanor!
Allan J Withers said on February 8, 2021
Thank you Greg, they do look different !!
Chris Vandegrift said on February 9, 2021
That is a cool little plane. Nicely done!
Allan J Withers said on February 9, 2021
Thanks Chris.
