lancfan's Japanese Vampire Trainer ** FINISHED **

[lancfan]

Thanks Mark, Paul.

Finished in Revell Aqua aluminium overall the model is now ready for decals.


Here the model has been decalled using the numbers from the RNZAF Starter set and one option of the Revell Hurricane, the tail serials are slightly too large and will be replaced at a later date.The wing roundels are also slightly too large but I will live with that as they are the correct colour.


Finished, Vampire T.55 of the Hamamatsu Air Base Publication Center, Japan.

Overall that looks great David, the only glitch being the wonky tail number on the right hand tail, but as you are going to replace those it's not a real problem. Nice left field choice in Japanese markings.

Nice work David.

It looks great in those markings.

Thanks shaun, Splash, nigel, Paul, Ian for those words, positioning the separate tail codes was a bit of a pain but as they were too large to fit in the correct position they will be replaced as inkjet decals later anyway.
This kit has lots of potential for multiple builds and I'm hoping for an export T.55 version with new decals and an FB.5 based on the same kit.
