DH.100 Vampire Mk.3 ’European and American Operators’
The DH.100 Vampire was a British first generation fighter jet aeroplane and was produced in several versions both for the RAF and for export. The Vampire Mk.3 version saw service not just with the domestic force, it was also operated by military in Canada, Norway and Mexico. And these four operators is what you will find offered on the colour schemes and decal sheet of this kit. It might also be interesting to mention that the Mk.3 Vampires were the very first jets to serve with the air forces of Mexico and Norway.
The kit consists of two styrene sprues and a single clear sprue. The decal sheet brings markings for a British, Canadian, Norwegian and a Mexican options. The Canadian one offer a feature typical for the RCAF airframes, a glazed nose section in front of the cockpit.
