Vampire T.11 Rhodesian Air Force

Hello guys.  I always like the look of the early British jets so that is why I bought this kit when it came out.  I thought it was a great new kit, but I was mistaken.

This must be one of the overrated kits out there.  The fit is absolute nightmare.  I managed to wrestle it somehow so in the end I got a nice Vampire.  The cockpit was upgraded with some scratchbuilt details like a completely new instrument panel.  The seats got seatbelts and ejector handles.  

The paints I used are Revell enamels and Gunze acrylics.  In the end the model came out really nice (by my opinion).  

I hope you like it.
