Sister Mary Albert would be proud; first to turn in assignment!

Yet another 'adopted' kit from the consignment shelf. A perfect fit for this build,no props. The kit itself, for me, was perfect; good fits, enough detail. Possibly an issue with the decals, could be I'm not used to these (Trumpeter kit), a bit of a challenge, but all in all went well. Here she is....

Hi,
Your build really looks great.

PS. The Vampire is one of my favorite looking airplanes.

I suppose I could look up the evolution. But it would be interesting to see the 'evolution' of this craft.

As requested. Access around the aircraft was impossible. Canopy was cracked open 6 inches hence the weird angles.

Thank you. A Canadian version, find any hens teeth lying around. Looks like I could have fudged my mk.9 to pass for this model? I really did want to do a Canadian version, eh!
