Rob, a big THANK YOU !!! Are you a mind reader ? Yesterday I saw a post here on SOH from DL saying the FB.5/9 was en route and just one day later it is already there :jump:.
 
These models just get better and better! I wonder if someone could say if the cockpit frame could be textured? Although minor, that zinc chromate colour is not good for a Vampire (or any other Brit of the period), it should be black or a pale green. As I said, a minor thing in a super new model!
 
Nice models there Rob with plenty of detail including the hydraulic lines for the flaps :salute:. The sounds are also fantastic. Lovely little gems to add to my hangar :applause:. And thanks too Peter for the nice reapints.

Wow !
Super nice piece of digital artwork !
Thanks to Mr. Richardson for this superb freeware.

Now what we need is our "SOH" members "TopGun Repainters" to cover
the 32 different countries that have flown this Twinboom Jet.

And I am not counting the number of Squadrons.
Too many ones !!!

Thanks again to Mr. Richardson !

Thanks a lot Mr Watkins for your superb repaints.

Here is another potential projet from a french plastic model club reference :
French Armée de l'Air 4-LK "8" of "Escadrille Lafayette" at Bremgarten, Germany in 1953

The reference for this potential repaint projet is here :

"Sioux" Sqdn marks on on side of the nose
and
"Cigogne" Sqdn marks on the other side of the nose.

Hoping you will be interested doing it !
Thanks in advance !
