From this Heller Vampire (bagged by Tasman Models) I shall create something our friend Tophe would have enjoyed.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Glad I picked mine now, 'cos one of my rejected alternatives was based on a Vampire.

Mainly interior painting so far.
Oh, and i've glued the vertical tails directly to the wings.  That should stop it tail sitting.

Does that count as three booms, or 2 1/2 booms?  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Thanks folks.

It's now got one of these.

Tophe Vampire WIP 09-07-2024 by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr

Piston engine.  So i had a dig in parts boxes and found some exhausts and radiators.
Legs will be too short so some longer ones will be in order.  A complete Phantom set is sitting in the F45 box next to me so I will see how they work out first.  Failing that, I have a bag full of undercarriages to root through.
