Macchi built AMI Vampire NF Markings 1/48 - CA 492


The Vampire was the first single-engine British jet fighter to enter production. Top seed was 538 mph and the plane was armed with 4 20mm canon. The first prototype took to the air in September 1943 and was ordered into production in 1944, although too late to enter service in WWII.

Initial flight of an Italian-built FB.52A was on 18 December 1951.
