Scratchbuilding the De Havilland Vampire T35

Hello all, time to start a new scratchbuild in parallel to some others. Choose the Vampire T35 trainer (actually T11 build in Australia), in the colors of the Australian Telstars aerobatic team that was flying it from 1963 up to 1968. Scale is 1-33.





Started with a draft build and than colored it. Used the fuselage / wings connections and the canopy at the front for the bonding line of the parts (orignaly Yoav's idea). It complicated the parts foldout, but I think it worth it.





For coloring the team's colors I used this picture, and discovered that it contradict the drawing I am using (picture / drawing compar at the scale of 1-33).





Going according to the picture, and ajusted the parts.



For the nose parts, trying to do it from two main parts as seen in the next picture.



Shalom Mor
