These models just get better and better! I wonder if someone could say if the cockpit frame could be textured? Although minor, that zinc chromate colour is not good for a Vampire (or any other Brit of the period), it should be black or a pale green. As I said, a minor thing in a super new model!

Great news!

Looks perfect for some Rhodesian repaints...

Just love all of your aircrafts ...

Cheers,

I hope you don't take this the wrong way Jens, buy I hate you so much right now... Fantastic photos of arguably the most elegant jet fighter ever...

hehe... Something special when you straps yourself into the ejection seat of the old lady, sort of like connection with aviation history. The cockpit of the T.55 is very cramped (I seem to remember it was build on the same dimensions as the mosquito and it is a tight fit for 2 MB seats), not to mention the manual ejection procedure. No automatic canopy removal, seat separation or chute opening after ejection. But it feels great in the air, the controls are very harmonic and responsive and it is a joy to fly. The same cannot be said when it is in dirty configuration with everything down... then it turns into a beast..lol. Definitely a lot more work in real life than in FS to land it.

Does anyone remember how to get the external fuel tanks to show on Rob Richardson's EXCELENT Vampires?

Thanks,

Stores switches - right hand side under canopy rail. DL

[ColoKent]

DL - I tried that initially (it works on the Venom), but it only toggles between rockets and bombs and clean on the Vamp. And I've tried filling the external tanks under aircraft fuel - nope, didn't work either. I'm stumped and must be missing something...
