Heller 1/72nd scale Vampire

1.
I am pretty sure this is the old Heller 1/72nd scale Vampire as I seem to
recall a black box.... Anyway, this was a sweet little gem of a kit and
very enjoyable to build. I experimented with Tamiya Acrylic Silver applied
with a brush whilst making this. So it wasn't the best of finishes but it
gave me some good experience (never have liked Acrylic, then or since - it
has a ridiculously short drying time and is very difficult to thin,
airbrush and clean). I recall stuffing extra lead weight in the cockpit
after completion to stop it from tail sitting. |
