¹⁄48

Well as Alistair from A2Zee Models promised here is news of the all new 1/48 scale Multi-Media kit of not one but two 1/48 De Havilland Vampire FB. Mk.5's. Just in time for the IPMS show at Telford next weekend [12/13 November 2011].

The kits are comprehensive and have 26 resin parts, 5 clear resin parts, 10 white metal parts (3 are nose weight pieces not shown), a photo-etch sheet, canopy masks and decals. Everything that you need is in the box no aftermarket parts are needed.
I would like to thank Tony O'Toole for his research and reference material that he kindly supplied for three of the schemes on the decal sheets, those being for 4,6, and 14 Squadrons, all of which I hope will make these releases just a little different to some of the decals that have been produced for Vampire kits before now.
I also believe that once again the talented pattern maker Phil Edwards, has introduced some interesting features to the parts breakdown of the kit to make for easy of assembly.
More "marks" are already in progress for the Vampire family and next up will be the Mk.9, with the Mk.3 and Mk.1 to follow in due time. These will appear in a wide range of decal options from many different operators of the Vampire. Before you all ask, the two seater's will probably be covered with the T.11 type and the night fighter types are not high on the priority list.
These first two kits are now available from the website however please note that the first production batch will be made available at Scale Model World and all the online orders will only be dispatched after the show.

Until next time, cheers for now regards Alistair (Ali)
