Great models. Green canopy glass, never thought of that.

Glad you made good use of the internet down time Tim  Especially like the Corsair

Blimey! Surely the Vampire didn't launch the missile, did it? If so, how?

Which kit's the missile from anyway, neat shape, not to mention the camo scheme. 

[MilitaryAircraft101]

Beautiful! 

[thedarkmaster]

no mate, the missiles are ground launched, the Vampire is there for mid course guidence to the target .

the missile is a Russian post war copy of the V1 with two engines, i flipped her over and added a few bits, she has her own entry many pages back

'Firestar' suits it down to the ground, or up to the stars maybe?

Seems idealy suited for somewhere like Singapore - nice
