    Looks: 8/10
    Like the paintjob. The yellow on the fuselage and the intakes break up the grey nicely. Since you've got 7 parts remaining, I'd expect some details like insignas. I'd advise using mods like fine tuner to nudge or rotate parts into the right place. Love the lights, by the way
    Function: 8.5/10
    Flies beautifully. Minor upwards pitch at full throttle, but managable. Takes off at around 190mph just after the first intersection at Yeager, and at around 170mph with flaps halfway, right at the spot. It can be way better with air brakes.
    Accuracy: 8/10
    Yes, you've got the basic shape of the aircraft, but the fuselage looks a bit off when you compare it with the diagrams. Next time you build a replica, always refer to the blueprints. Print them out, and do the measurings of different parts like fuselage width, wing span, or even the angle the wings tilt at. This is how I, and other professional builders like BogdanX build good replicas. (I don't consider myself to be a pro, but you get the idea.) They can be found at this site.
    Impression: 4/5
    Beautiful representation of the Vampire for a bronze user. Keep going on and you'll get gold in no time.
    Final score: 28.5/35
