And it turned into a VAMPIRE BLITZ***completed***

[theconfidencestoat]

Yup ! Planning on 10.45 start, like yesterday

[Ian]

So 01:00 here?
Cool. Check in on you layer!

[ShaunW]

Excellent. Well it's still yesterday night here and almost time for my bed. I look forward to more of the Vampire tomorrow.

Ian, however, is immune to time zones

[theconfidencestoat]

Pretty well same as last night, need to rub down some seams and mask the canopy.



Lots of classic aussie rock for this build......

[theconfidencestoat]

Forgot to show this one earlier. The upper wing is attached to the fuselage and then the intake trunking is added. The booms and empennage are then assembled and the boom attached to the top wings as shown. The mail gear legs are attached to the boom prior to this. I think it would be possible, but difficult to add the legs after this stage. The lower wing halves are then added.

I posted 'Throw Your Arms ' yesterday. Reminded me of evenings at the Geebung, and the 95 Ansett Cup final !
But just for you Mike......

[theconfidencestoat]

Canopy masked and attached, bit of undercoat ready for the yellow bands. Drop tanks ready for painting........

[Ian]

Good morning!
Even just undercoated she's looking lovely already!

Insignia yellow on. I'm guessing these bands were four feet wide ? What's that in 1/72 scale ?

[Ian]

4 feet = 48 inches
48 inches in 1:72 = 48/72 = 2/3 inch = 16.93mm
I think you can get away with 17mm

Thanks Guys....that's what I worked out too

[theconfidencestoat]

OK further research tells me the bands are 3 feet on this sized aircraft. 13mm should do it
