I believe it's a T-11...if so, there are loads of schemes available - do a Google Image search. However, there's only ever been one or maybe two decent schemes for T-11s and that's silver with either dayglo or yellow bands and trim. I have included a picture of a camouflaged one below and if you are interested, I have a whole load of detail shots of this aeroplane.
Cheers,
Dick

RE: Looking for vampire color scheme
Thanks a lot for photos.
Any idea where to buy decal sheets for those color schemes?
I got some decals from a good friend in UK, but would appreciate more if possible.
Thanks

James,
Ralle at Tailormade is the best source for decals.
Re the detail shots I have...they are giving scale detail rather than detail of the camoflage (which is standard RAF scheme of the 1950s and available off the web). Happy to send you a CD with the detail pictures James...email me your address and I will put them in the post (there are many shots...too many for email).
Rgds,
Dick

RE: Looking for vampire color scheme
The T-11 has a big canopy showing a cockpit that will need to be filled - which may not be the easiest of tasks given everything that's in there! ...

RE: Looking for vampire color scheme
Hi Dick, Would love to know who's plastic kit that is of XD452 flew it several times when it was with 8 FTS at Swinderby, got to have one ! (although the Dayglo was very faded then !)
Filling the cockpit of a T11 is easy, just do what DH did, assemble everything on the hangar floor, then chuck it into the cockpit space ! At least that's what it seemed like, the T11 has got to have had the worst cockpit layout of ANY jet, an ergonomic slum !
Regards,
David.

No need to get a plastic XD 452...the cockpit of the real one still exists. Have a look at...

...and you'll find her! I put a picture of her below...oh, and a picture of XJ 771 at Kemble with some vagrant I pulled from the crowd to add perspective!
Cheers,
