    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...:salute:

    Hi Dave, nice looking Vamp. F3 :salute:. 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…

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.

    OK, Rich,

    Just finished and released at BritSim. Have fun!

    I have the Paint Kit, but it is confusing on the wings? Need to do an further inspection.

    Many thanks Peter, after this thread was moved out of the stickies for what ever reason I as usual keep checking Britsim.

    Any ideas anyone why it was thrown out of the stickies when it has much later post dates than ones that are left in stickies.

    Many thanks Peter, got it and it works great for me with the memories bit.

    A fair few first with the Vampire, first jet to fly the Atlantic, first jet to land and take off from a carrier plus a few records in those early jet days.

    I think another first for the Vampire was that it was built and powered by the same company. I can't think of any jet aircraft except the Vampire, Venom and early Comets with airframes and engines made in house.

    To continue the Royal Auxiliary Airforce series a 608 squadron Vampire would be very acceptable.

    Avro CF-100 Canuck comes to mind. The Mk2 Arrow would have had in house designed Orendas

    Sorry Caz but I put up the Venom paint kit by mistake, I've changed it for the Vampire now.

    This is Wing Comdr. W. A. Smith's machine from 1956 at RAF Ouston. It bears No. 607 Sqdn. markings on the left side and No. 608's on the right. Still a WIP - I need to get the underside the right colour - but will put up later this week.

    That looks very good Dave. So were 607 and 608 amalgamated into a Northern Fighter Wing?

    Mike. Former resident of Thornaby on Tees, I can still remember Griffons growling and rumbling and Goblins howling.

    What's going on over at Britsim?

    I'm completely unable to download anything from there. I get "anti-leach" messages whenever I try.
    Yes, I do have an account there, and don't get any error messages on login.

    Stranger and stranger.

    Does this incarnation of the Vampire give a loadout option for external wing tanks?

    Other than that, it looks great!

    Kent

    Edit: Please disregard-- I see underwing tanks are an option...

    de Havilland Vampire FB.52 "VO445" of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. This particular aircraft was the personal mount of Wing Commander Werner H. Christie during the early 1950s. Christie was an ww2 ace, having flown both the Spitfire and Mustang (the later as wing commander of the Hunsdon wing in 1945).
