Also...there was s fabulous Vampire in 1/32 on show a few years ago at the NATS..I think it was from a Canadian maker...wonder what ever happened to it?I wanted very much to do the Vampire/Venom family but it seemed a good kit was almost ready for release so i left it.

Mikkel 29 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hello! Paul, please for the love modellers!!! finish it and do a Vampire converison while you are at it! I'd do a Venezuelan, Iraqi and convert it to a good old vampire and do a Dominican one maybe a Mexican sharkmouthed one, so Paul please make one!! I know that it's out of production, I hoped that someone had a copy... Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony in NZ 5,930 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Oh man...we soooo need a 32nd Vampire! Link to post Share on other sites
paul fisher 1,660 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Good morning gents... Okee-Dokee...I will dig out the Venom stuff, my friend Brian Fawcett actually began the thing, then sent it along to me, and then John Adams of Aeroclub was kind enough to send me his own drawings so I guess I should be a good boy and get back on it. No worried on the F-5F, it's in here too, but I really don't know about doing a Vampire ...somewhere there's a fellow with a really good looking set of masters laying about and as soon as I get a years work invested the thing it will show up and I'm screwed. After the last big jet kit I can't take that kind of chance any more. I will have a look for the Venom stuff today...can't go over the mountain to Reno so I'm stuck here anyway!

SinuheH 322 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Paul If you do intend to consider such a conversion, contact Robert at matterhorn Circle (www.mc-one.ch) first - I'm not sure what local plans are at the moment. Best, Sinuhe Link to post Share on other sites

Scotsman 1,959 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Paul , to paraphrase someone of other ..."if you cast it , we will buy it ".. that is x2 for any UK aircraft .. the Vampire is a wonderful subject , its small enough to do a couple , and the making choices are legion... So go for it !, Please Link to post Share on other sites
