This is my rendition of No. 60 Sqn Vampire WL555, based at RAF Tengah, Singapore during Malayan Emergency, First off, it's the wrong mark, the kit is an FB5 but I only realised that it should have been an FB9 at a very late stage so I just stuck with what I had.

It's the very nice Heller Mistral/Vampire which came in an Airfix box. Decals came from Modeldecal with Xtradecal roundels and home-made serials. I did not apply the underwing serials simply because I didn't have any suitable decal and am too lazy to print some up. It's a tail-sitter unfortunately in spite of all the weight packed up in the nose, It'll be fixed onto a base later.
Happy Merdeka Day 2011
