Special Hobby 1/72 scale DH. 100 Vampire Mk.3 Norwegian
Here we go!
Not too many parts in this kit.
Cockpit is finished.
I added some small details such as wireing and the heater.
Main parts glued together. It needs far more weight than what it is room for in the nose. I added more led pellets behind the seat. That prevented the model from being a tail sitter.
Cocpit glass is on

Michael KohlCram in as much weight as you can, as this is a notorious tail sitter.
A hint or two where this kit challenges you - or me at least - you can find here: Swiss DH-100 Mk I | Album by panorama (1:72)

Erik TorpThank you, Michael. I'm pretty much aware of the challenges. From your pictures I can see I have the exact same gaps as you did. One question: Why did you not fill the gaps between the tail boms and the fuselage? From all pictures I have seen it should be very smooth there.

Michael KohlIt seemed so logical and obvious to me that the area where the booms meet the fuselage had a panel line at the real thing that I did not check any further. So I just did not realise my flaw. Ups.

Erik TorpBeen there, done that... Anyway, your build looks very cool Michael. Lot's of good tips there.
