This set is for the Amodel 1/72 Vampire Mk I. Pavla has provided a new cockpit that includes a new floor and back bulkhead, new seat, side panels, rear cockpit area and new control stick and pedals. The Vampire Mk.I had two different types of canopy and Pavla provides them both. One is the older one in three sections while later the aircraft were retrofitted with a full bubble canopy as used on later versions.

The parts are up to Pavla's usual standards and the canopies come in sections so you don't have to cut a one piece unit. Some work needs to be done to the kit, such as thinning the sidewalls, but that should not be beyond those ready to use a set such as this.
