This is a very old kit with raised panel lines. Most parts are well detailed but have rough edges that will require sanding. The decals looks pretty good. Pity I won't use them!

I added a bit of detail to the cockpit using plastic card, copper wire and telephone cable. The seatbelts were made from masking tape and tinfoil.


 

 
For a SAAF version of the Vampire FB52 the intake bullet on the starboard side of the fuselage need to be extended. I used plastic card and filler to create the extension.
