Hi all I try to build all last manufactured models of the Swiss Air Force jets starting with the DH-100 Vampire Mk. 6 with the matriculation number J-1200. So I decided to use the DH-100 Vampire FB Mk.5 1/32 scale from Infinity Models as a base. I bought some add-ons for the modifications into the Swiss version: Scale Mask from ASK: 1/32 DH-100 Vampire Mk.3 / Mk.5 double-sided express masks for Infinity Vampire landing flaps and air brakes from Infinity Models: INF 3203 6+ DH-100 VAMPIRE LANDING FLAPS AND AIR BRAKES Vampire FB Mk.5 Photoetched detail set from Infinity Models: INF 3203 2+ DH-100 VAMPIRE FB MK.5 PHOTOETCHED DETAIL SET Decals from Matterhorn Circle: MC32021 - DH-100 Mk.6 Vampire decals (in my opinion the best on the market) Hawker Hunter Detail Set from DJ Parkins for the MB Mk.2V ejection seat: Hawker Hunter Details Set

We take a look at the second of the two Vampire releases in 1:32 from Infinity Models (HpH), the square wing tipped FB.Mk.5. As the contents of this boxing are identical to the Vampire F.Mk3 boxing we've previously reviewed, with the exception of different markings and assembly instructions, this review mirrors much of the content of our earlier review. Now, where did I put the kit I started? Have fun... Iain

Hi guys! Take a bit of time to view this video of a cool Canadian boneyard! Lots of nice and surprising stuff there, and I would love to go pick a few things from that fantastic place! Regards, Alain

Many moons ago a younger Uncle Les wore a blue uniform and performed feats of technical interest on Bous, Macchis and more importantly, on this aircraft: This is the view from the instrument section window above the flight line. I decided I wanted to build a model of this very aircraft ( as I tend to do with others I've taken a screwdriver to..) and to this end I made a 1/72 resin conversion set, 1/48 resin fuselage replacement and more recently, a 1/32 one-off. Here's a bit of the story of the 1/32 example in a brief photographic essay: I decided I wanted to build an RNZAF Venom alongside the Mk35 using a Matchbox Sea Venom as a base - I also obtained a Tigger models Vampire but this proved to be rather expensive and disappointing - it ended up being an expensive canopy and mismatched parts that needed a LOT of work. Eventually I knocked up the sections I needed with plasticard and resin using scaled up plans from various sources. My take on the Goblin was using the Matchbox Ghost, casting up new cans and making a few mods here and there... These pics will show which bits of the kit I used and which bits were cast up - I made up one boom to suit and cast up multiples to cater for this and the Venom. I then whipped up a nose shape and vac-formed some nosey bits to cater for both the underside and the bonnet. -
Hi all, I've been chipping away at this for the "anything but injection moulded" group build going on here at the moment and I've finally finished! This started off life as the old Revell Sea Venom, which I thought would not take too much effort to turn into a vampire, considering he family lineage. How wrong I was. All I could actually use of the kit was the canopy, wheels, centre section of the nacelle, exhaust and part of the tail booms. Everything else had to be built from scratch, which seemed to satisfy the requirements of the group build All in all though, a fun experience. I certainly learnt a lot along the way and it's given me the confidence to got the next step further again and refine my techniques, while adding more and more brass machinings into the build, as several masters on this forum already do. I apologise for my crappy photos, I really need to invest in a decent camera and background. Thanks for looking, any comments welcome Cheers, Craig
