The Vampire was the first jet used by the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF). RNoAF recieved 20 examples of the F.III in the late forties, later to be followed by 36 FB.52s and 6 T.55s.

The model is constructed from the Aeroclub vacuum kit. The project was started over 10 years ago, but only finished this winter. A lot of the small parts have been built from scratch, including undercarriage and cockpit details. Decals are by Vingtor Decals.
