1/144 DH Vampire FB.6 - Small Scale Model

 1/144 DeHavilland DH Vampire FB.6 - Small Scale Models

We have waited a long time for a DeHavilland Vampire in 1/144 and now we have a nice FB.6 as provided here by Small Scale Shop. This version is optimised for Shapeways 'Fine Ultra Detail' material' (FUD) with a "White Strong Flexible" (WSF) version to follow shortly.

The FB.6 is an evolution of the F.1 that also flew in 1945 didn't enter service until 1946, thus becoming the second jet fighter to enter service with the RAF.The FB.6 was very successful and led to a "Sea Vampire" for Royal Navy use and was widely exported to over 30 countries. This aircraft would obviously look great along site your F-Toys Meteor, or hunting down those Me.262s!?

Working from Brazil, you will notice a recurring theme in the refelcted in the selection of the model items that have been produced by the Small Scale Model shop. Many are products that are used by the Brazilian armed forces, or are manufactured in Brazil and sold to other Armed forces around the world. It is probably true to say that the part played by Brazil in world arms sales is pretty much overshadowed by the 'big 5' countries that supply military equipment

The aircraft currently come with solid canopies that can be used to generate "push-form" canopies, or just painted. Alternatively, Opaque semi transparent canopies can be purchased at the time of ordering.
