De Havilland Vampire

Haven't uploaded anything for a while, recently I play around with my De Havilland Vampire that I made some years ago and it really just isn't up to scratch. So, naturally I went all out and built a new one from scratch with the latest techniques that I've come to develop.
So, here we have a very classic 1950s fighter jet, first flown in 1943 and introduced into service in 1946, serving right up until 1979 with the Rhodesian air force. I have done my best to keep it all close to realistic proportions and speed etc. but it isn't quite perfect.
Apologises that it does not exactly fly smoothly but I am afraid I sacrificed performance for looks on this one.
Please enjoy and let me know what you think.
