The Swedish Air Force received the first delivery of 20 aircraft starting in February 1953. Sweden had 3 versions of the 2-seater Vampire (trainer Mk.55), J 28C-1, J 28C-2; J 28C-3. The C-1 version had, among other things a different type of canopy glazing than C2 & C3. C2 & C3 had more elegantly curved dorsal fins. The C-2 and C3 were identical except that the C-2 was produced as a training aircraft in England and the C-3 was converted from the single-seat Vampire (J 28B) where the conversion took place in Sweden. The kit represents version C-2/C-3. In addition to training student pilots, the Swedish Air Force used the 2-seater Vampire for weather flights, VIP flights, liason flights and flight training.
In total, over 1100 2-seater Vampires were built and the Swedish Air Force had a total of 57 2-seater Vampires and the last official flights took place in 1968.
Top quality plastic kit with surface details 2nd to none. Photo etched detail parts included and decals for 2 aircraft printed by Cartograf.
