Default RE: DerJet DH Vampire build thread-

Finally got started on Eric Clapp's Vampire.
This is the all red one I posted photos of a while back.
This Vampire flew with the Royal Australian Air Force. This was a special scheme worn by Squadron Leader C.F. Favish's Vampire FB.31 of 25 Squadron in the late 1950s.
Australian Vampires were fitted with auxiliary "Elephant Ear" intakes on the lower fuselage. This is what we started on today. Also Eric did all teh little stuff on the gear to get them ready to install.
Below are a few photos of the days work. Also Eric says the front wind screen was blue tinted so I made him one blue tinted.
