    Another great choice, Allan (@kalamazoo). I'm not sure I have ever seen a Vampire with the big intakes on top. Looking forward to seeing your great work on this one.

    Thanks George, RR Nene powered, they were not used by the RAF, but produced by Australia and France, our later versions had them moved to the under side !

    I love those navlights, Allan @kalamazoo! I am usually too lazy or reluctant to implement them at my models...
    I think I must standardize it though, makes a lightyear of a difference!
