1/144 de Havilland Vampire FB.9 ‘Tropical Fighter-Bomber’ (2in1 = 2 kits in 1 box) (RAF, RhAF) - Mark I

1/144 de Havilland Vampire FB.9 ‘Tropical Fighter-Bomber’ (2in1 = 2 kits in 1 box) (RAF, RhAF) - Mark I 

The de Havilland Vampire was a British jet fighter developed during WWII. 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.

The Vampire FB Mk.9 was a tropicalised fighter-bomber variant based on the Vampire Mk.5, which was in production from 1951 to 1953. 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. A Godfrey air-conditioning unit was installed in the starboard wing root of the FB.9. Two external fuel tanks or 500lb bombs could be carried under the wings, while eight 3" RPs could be attached inboard of the booms.

Almost 1,600 Vampires of Mk.I through to Mk.9 were manufactured (of which 347 were FB.9s), and another thousand of other Marks were built under licence in other countries.

The Vampire FB.9 equipped a number RAF squadrons in the Middle East and the Far East. Some FB.9s were also loaned by the RAF to the RAAF in Malta and to the RNZAF in Cyprus and Malaya. In 1953-54 the Rhodesian Air Force acquired 16 Vampire FB.9 fighters, fitted with a more powerful Goblin engine. A further batch of 13 FB.9s was obtained from South Africa in the late 1960s. After almost 30 years of service, they were the last Vampires used on operations anywhere.

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!?
