David LengyelWell, just from a distance. There are minor drops on the flaps and on the fuselage from below. I also don't like fitting of the canopy, but it's a hard to reach area, so I would have to let it go 🙁

Aaron LilesThe sunken areas on the kit flaps are quite noticeable aren't they? but thankfully clean up easily. You've done a cracking job on the surface prep 🙂 . I note that you have the eduard mask for the canopy, is that it in the photo? (I imagine it would be). I've never used pre-cut masks before but bought a set to use on an S-61 which I'm hoping to build in the future. Are they straight forward to use? I would imagine they are fiddly but less so than trying cut your own.

David LengyelFrankly, I didn't notice them until there was a first layer of surfacer. I was sort of upset because it's a problem when it comes down to metal finish - sloppy work on surface preparation provides a massive backfire later. Well, I think I sort it out eventually. Thank you for your compliments Milk 🙂
There are Eduard's masks indeed. They're really easy to use. It fits well, one just have to be as accurate as possible when applying the masks on the clear parts. I should do more dry fitting before I glued the clear parts though. That's only big drawback of this build so far.

David LengyelThank you guys. Some minor progress. I've repaired some flaws, but some are still present. I think I will let go the upcoming contest and repair this stuff instead.

Aaron LilesExcellent stuff David; she's looking brilliant. For such a small kit there are a lot of stencils to add!! Although I think there are a lot less in this scheme than the dayglo one.

David LengyelExactly Milk, there's just like 1/3 of the decals compared to the other marking. There's a great walkaround by the way modelplac.cz/pages/walk/vampiret11.htm And as always, thank you for the compliments 🙂

Nikolajs NegerissGood work so far! Nice to see your attention to the paint job quality. That's important for metal finishes 🙂

Aaron LilesYep, like it too. One of my favourite parts when modelling are adding the decals as it brings the kit to life (it also means that its not far from finished 😄 )

David LengyelI'm done with this one. First model after 15 years long break. OOB build took me 61 hours.

David LengyelThank you guys for such a nice words and comliments. I just came back from my first model show competition and this Vampire was award winning model. I am in awe. There were much better kits in my category, so I was really surprised 🙂
@Philip OOB fitting was generaly good. I had to sand off a bit on the right gondola and put some putty in the seam between wing and fuselage on the underside and on the elevator. It's a wonderful kit, easy to assemble.
