It was the second jet, after the Gloster Meteor, operated by the RAF. It replaced wartime piston-engine fighters and was in front-line service until 1953.<\/p>\n<p>The Vampire Mk.3 fighter which first flew in November 1946 was based on the Vampire Mk.I but possessed redesigned tail surfaces. It was a single-seat monoplane aircraft, of a combined wood-and-metal construction, powered by a DH Goblin turbojet. It featured twin-boom tail configuration with two wing-root intakes, bubble canopy and was fitted with a non-ejection seat. It was equipped with four Hispano cannons mounted in the fuselage nose. Two external fuel tanks or 500lb bombs could be carried under the wings, while eight 3&#8243; RPs could be attached inboard of the booms.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 1,600 Vampires of Mk.I through to Mk.9 were manufactured (of which 204 were F.3s), and another thousand of other Marks were built under licence in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>Operating a total of 85 aircraft, the Vampire F.3 became the first jet fighter to enter RCAF service in any significant numbers; their aircraft were taken on charge in 1948-49. Norway ordered 20 Vampire F.3s which were delivered in the period 1948-49 and the Mexican Air Force took delivery of 15 Vampire F.3s from RCAF stocks between 1960 and 1962.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Colour schemes included in the kit:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) de Havilland DH.100 Vampire F Mk.3, VF316, Black A, No.608 (North Riding) Sq., Royal Auxiliary Air Force, Thornaby Air Base, 1950-51<\/p>\n<p>2) de Havilland DH.100 Vampire F Mk.3, 17085 (VP786), Black 085, Nos.411 (Aux)\/400 (Aux) Sq., Royal Canadian Air Force, Downsview Air Base, Ontario, early\/mid 1950s<\/p>\n<p>3) de Havilland DH.100 Vampire F Mk.3, P42409 (VT834), Black DP-G, Jet Treningsvingen (Jet Training Wing), Royal Norwegian Air Force (Luftforsvaret), Sola Air Station, early 1950s<\/p>\n<p>4) de Havilland DH.100 Vampire F Mk.3 \u201cAguacate\u02ee (Avocado), FAM-5 (ex-RCAF 17040), White 5, Escuadr\u00f3n A\u00e9reo Jet de Pelea 200 (Air Fighter Sq.), Mexican Air Force (Fuerza Aerea Mexicana), Santa Luc\u00eda Air Force Base (BAM 1), mid-1960s<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Assembly instructions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-710\" src=\"http:\/\/www.4pluspublications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pdf-download.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60\" height=\"58\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.4pluspublications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/MKM14497-Vampire-F.3-Jet-Fighter_instr-web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MKM14497 Vampire F.3 Jet Fighter_instr web<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">RELEASED 11\/2018<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two injection-moulded kits are supplied in this box and each kit contains 31 parts, one clear part (the cockpit canopy) and 2 resin parts (rounded wing tips).
