Peter Watson has been cranking out some new repaints for the FB.5 ... over at Britsim ...http://www.britsim.com/index.php?opt...=34&Itemid=166

Italy, Iraq, France, and South Africa so far .... I know the FB.5 isn't the F.3 .... but hopefully an RCAF model might squeak through ... fingers crossed ....

You must be a mind reader! That one is on my list to do. Should be completed over the coming weekend.

Hi Peter, not a FB5 I know but a Vampire F3, hopefully you can do a what if for me which is could you transport me back 60 years to RAF Llandow where as a 10 year old I and my brother aged 9 used to walk the 2 miles from our home to see what The County of Glamorgan RAuxAF Squadron were up to. This was on Saturdays and Sundays as they were weekend warriors

They had F3's at the time and did until they were stood down, not much to go on just one side of the aircraft probably the same the other side.

Hi Rich, Rob has re-vamped(sorry!) his F3 with the same texture mapping as the FB5/9 so I will be starting on F3's as well. I will add this one to the list.

cheers, Peter

Great work Peter, and thanks to Rob for the models . You've been [pumping out super repaints for these lovely British models. Any chance of maybe doing a Rhodesian one for me? Or maybe Jens-Ole might do one. Anyway, complimensts for the repaints .

Coming a bit late to this party. This is English Electric-built Vampire F3 VP768 (RCAF 17067) while serving with No. 438 (Aux) Sqdn., based at St Huberts Quebec in the early '50's. Ended up in Mexico with Escuadrón 200 as F.A.M. 7 and was struck off charge in 1969. Will finish and upload later this week.

PS. Can anyone confirm the squadron code? Was it BO or BQ.

According to this site, BQ

[DaveQ]

Many thanks Jetstreamsky. Wings Palette also has it as BQ but the photgraphic evidence is a bit hazy so I was wondering if anyone could independently verify. If not BQ it will be...

Hi Dave, nice looking Vamp. F3 . Can't wait to get my hands on the joystick and throttle .
As an answer to your question I think it must have been BQ (and not BO). Check this official listing;

I can’t stop flying this lovely Vampire! Only the British would think to make a jet fighter out of a little plywood and balsa egg with tin wings, but it ticks every box for me – small, neat, quirky, iconic, silky smooth, and just made for doing Derry turns in Tower view. I can appreciate the awesome power and raw spectacle of modern fast jets, but it’s the mature ladies that always catch my eye. I’ve heard she has a friend…
