1:1 Historically Accurate Replica of the De Havilland Vampire (DH.100) FB.Mk.9, the seccond Jet Fighter in service with the RAF. One of the most charismatic planes of the history.

The Vampire was a jet-powered twin-boom aircraft, typically employed in the fighter and fighter-bomber roles. This version (FB.9) is the one to operate in tropical climates. The FB.9 was deployed to various parts of the Middle East and Africa and features air conditioning and a more powerful engine, the Goblin III..

This aircraft is painted with the schemes of the 213 sqn of the RAF, with base in Deversoir, Egypt.

Enjoy it!!!

    @TyDillon13GEICO You must have patience, a single plane takes 1-2 weeks of work to me ... It is difficult to make a plane fly without problems, I try to make my airplanes almost perfect, however it is not always possible: D
