Nice choice, Andy!

Anybody know if the Cyberhobby Sea Vampire is any good?

I understand their aircraft kits have a dubious reputation.

[PaulBradley]

I haven't seen one, but those in the know say the fuselage is all wrong and there is no cockpit detail to speak of.

Looking forward to it arriving!
If I'm feeling in the right mood, I might try and do it as the Vampire that used to reside in my senior school grounds...I have no idea what mark of Vampire it was to be honest, but about six or seven of us sitting on the tail would get the nose of the ground

[Gregers]

Hi Jim. What school was that. I feel like doing some research.

All the best

If it's anything like their Sea Vixen, then RUN AWAY.

Yeah. I recall watching you fight yours. I'll hold off.

I didn't say the SH was hard, just less easy!

That's good to know. I don't remember Mike having many issues with the kit in his review for AMW, but then he's Mike

[PaulBradley]

It isn't as refined as the Airfix, and the small parts make it fiddly, but I don't recall any major issues, just the need to take extra care.

Thanks Paul!

I don't know what's wrong with me at the moment - I normally avoid short-run kits like the plague.

I wouldn't consider the Vampires short run. They're definitely not in the same sphere as SH/MPMs efforts from the early 2000s. These are of similar quality to their P-40 or BF 109 series.

During a moment of weakness, I placed an order for the Airfix kit, along with a set of colorful Aztec decals to build a Mexican Air Force version.

I'll be working on both kits side by side.

Why do I do these things to myself?

[PaulBradley]

Ah, the famous 'Avocado.' Should be fun!

I will be attempting three simultaneous builds - gotta hold my end up as GBL......
