Vampire Diaries

摘要

For many years modellers had to struggle if they wanted to build a twin seat Vampire. Had you wanted to build a trainer in this scale previously you would have had to drag an old Frog/Novo kit out of retirement from a dusty corner somewhere and attempt to drag it up to date with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Alternatively, should your pockets be deeper, investment in a highly detailed full resin option would have been the only other option.This dilemma was put to bed though when a rejuvenated Airrix stepped up and produced a new tooling of this classic British jet. Cracking the box open you will find a well moulded kit that has very good levels of detail. Surface details are recessed in what has become a now typical style for Airfix, which love it or loath it, seems to be more than acceptable to all but the most pernickety of modellers. Markings are offered for two aircraft, one a current preserved flying example in overall silver with yellow fuselage and wing flashes, and a second from the 1950's in the standard but striking overall silver with dayglo-orange panels.
