"The response to my group build has been staggering." @dlee
Now, look at that, there was a plane under all that tape! What a fantastic lot of updates recently. It looks stunning with all the color added to the silver.
Thanks Erik, amazing what you find after removing the masking !

Love the "new" seat and the landing gear progress, my friend @kalamazoo!
Dove gear?
Thanks Spiros my friend, ------------ Thanks Erik, ? --------------- Undercarriage and decals going on !
Coming along beautifully, my friend @kalamazoo!
Allan, I was referring to the original undercarriage being reused in the Dove/Devon. It certainly looks like being the same. Looking smart with the decals on.
Thanks Spiros, ------------ Thanks Erik, it does look the same, but is it, the nose leg looks longer on the dove, --------- Pitot tubes from stretched sprue thinned at the end and balances on, both Vampires !
Looking great with these details added, my friend @kalanazoo. No Vampire looks right without the mass balances!
Thanks Spiros my friend, --------------- Undercarriage doors going on with Pledge as usual, still a couple of decals to do !
That is quite a difference on the elevatorbalances.
Amazing that Pledge can secure those doors, my friend @kalamazoo! Looking great!
Thanks Erik, they are a bit different on these kits, not sure about the real thing, ------- Thanks Spiros, handle with care, ------------- I will call this finished now, left the canopy open as it doesn't match the windscreen shape, I will also edit the Title, see page one ! thanks to all who followed along.

Amazing finish, my friend @kalamazoo! Nice and colorful Vampire, joy to watch - also a pure joy to having followed your detailed and informative thread! Congratulations!
Thank you for sharing this build. The Vampire looks so familiar, yet different with the small radome and whipantenna. Well done Allan.
