The first of two Vampire T11 kits built simultaneously (no build thread posted for these, but have included progress shots below). You have a choice of two Vampire T11 trainer schemes, either WZ507 in the familiar silver with yellow stripes, now flown by the Vampire Preservation Group UK, or a dayglo and silver version from No.5 FTS at RAF Oakington in 1962. I modelled WZ507.
First, some extra detail was added, with straps and ejection handles (seen later). I used a dark grey for the interior and discreet silver scrape marks:

A really pleasant kit to build. The only fit issues were around the underside at the wing joins and the intakes. Nothing serious though, and the final result is a pleasing rendition of the classic Vampire trainer.
