High Plane Models [HPM] Hobbies has released a 1/72 scale conversion set for the RAAF Vampire FB Mk31
”Next post-lockdown release is a remaster. The RAAF Vampire FB Mk31 conversion traces back to the second High Planes release in 1989. The Chance Vought F4U-5 included decals and injection moulded intakes for a RAAF Vampire as a bonus. We tidied these up, added some extra parts and released this as a Plus Pack in 2013. I was never really happy with the intakes.
We have done 3D designs for the intakes, Sperry bulge and seat, and added them to the CAD designed wheels and Nene exhaust for the remaster. These are now included in the Plus Pack, and as a conversion set alone....watch out for more schemes from a prominent Australian decal company in the future

This set will be released soon in 1:48 for the Trumpeter kit, adding a new cockpit floor and rear shelf with air receiver.”
