Special Hobby 72383 DH.100 Vampire Mk. I 'RAF, RAAF and Armée de l'Air' 1/72

Special Hobby 72383 DH.100 Vampire Mk. I is a precisely crafted plastic assembly model in the popular 1/72 scale, replicating one of the most important postwar European jet fighters. The model is dedicated to intermediate and advanced modelers who appreciate high-quality details and extensive customization options. The set allows you to build a replica of the British de Havilland Vampire Mk. I, which played a significant role in the air forces of Great Britain (RAF), Australia (RAAF), and France (Armée de l'Air).

The original de Havilland Vampire Mk. I entered service at the end of World War II (1945) and was one of the first jet-powered fighters used by Allied forces. It was widely used by both the British Air Force and exported to Australia and France, where it formed the basis for training and combat flights in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Modelers building this kit can recreate aircraft stationed in, among other places, Great Britain, as well as during the early years of the Cold War in Europe and other continents.
