[@ALIKN1-1]

Too many things you don’t know about Iraq

[@foreverplastickits138]

@@ALIKN1-1 I've just find a book in french which talks about the jets in service in Iraq Air Forces, the Vampire is the first of them.

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

@@doctormig2709 Good to know, thank You! ;)

[@doctormig2709]

Np at all :)

[@brianc1701]

Beautiful job, as usual! Remind me again how you keep the windshield from fogging when fairing it in with superglue (future coat first)?

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks.I dip the windshield in future.Let it dry for day or two and wipe all the fingerprints on the inside before I glue it in place

[@GilHezkia]

The underwing serials should be anti-symetric - one is inverted.

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks for the info.The instructions set and a pic of a vsmpire i found said nothing like that.

[@GilHezkia]

@@doctormig2709 it was a common practice on all British-made aircraft in Arab service. From the Hawker SeaFury to the Hawker Hunter.
You can find it on these aircraft in RAF service as well.

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks for the info :)

[@Канатоходец57]

красиво

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks :)

[@markrayton6385]

Excellent job. Have you added some black paint to your glue as a tracer ?

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks :) the gpue is mr cement sp black.It is usefull for seeing where the goue goes.

[@pokefan-ix7sh]

this version of vampire was used during gulf war. After that, it maybe abandoned or captured during gulf war, or scrapped before us led collation invasion of iraq (2003). it's fate is ambiguous (means unknown).

[@herbaden]

I have that same kit in my stash, looking forward to building it! I will go for the swedish one I think

[@doctormig2709]

You will have a great time with it :)

[@helowriterseahawk7470]

Inspiring, beautiful job! Do you always use the black water-based ink (not oil paint) for paneling?

[@doctormig2709]

Thank you.Well I ussualy use the ink wash.Much easier to use and dries faster plus there is no smell

[@JDK73772]

Great job as usual. How do you decide what to build next and also where do you get your supplies for building/painting these?

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks.The decision is not made by me but by my customers.I mostly build models for other people and it has been my main source of income for the last 12 13 years.When I ocasionaly build kits for myself I try to find something exotic and interesting that captures my attention and go from there.Regarding buying suuplies.I do 99% of thst by ordering it online.I mostly order from Poland.Their hobbyshops are awesome and they have great prices and awesome service.I also order from the UK, Lithuania, Serbia and Greece.

[@JDK73772]

@DOCTOR MiG Awesome, it is always great to be able to make a living doing what you love. Have you thought about doing a video about your setup and your supply chain?

[@lesvenus3788]

A beautiful build once again! Did you put nose weight in it?

[@doctormig2709]

Thanks.I have put a lot of led in the nose.As much as It could fit inside.

[@juanmartinmarquezbrey5378]

Que rara versión del vampire, mas que nada las colas puntiagudas tan altas para esa versión. Se que se quiso hacer una versión, de alta cota, que tenia alas muy largas y cola muy puntiaguda

[@pokefan-ix7sh]

this version of vampire was used during gulf war later it maybe all were destroyed or scrapped before us led collation invasion of iraq (2003)
