Scale representation of the de Havilland Vampire FB.MK.9 by Trumpeter 02875

The Trumpeter 02875 - 1/48 Vampire FB.MK.9 kit captures the post-war British jet's unusual twin boom structure and streamlined fuselage. Its subject is popular among scale modellers and aviation history fans who want a compact but detailed replica.

Moulded components show panel detail and cockpit features that reward careful painting and assembly. Whether adding to a historical collection or refining modelling skills, this kit provides a focused build with a classic silhouette.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic components
  • Assembly Type: Requires manual assembly
  • Paint and decals: Not included with the kit
  • Detail: Accurate cockpit area and engraved panel lines

What adhesive works best for the plastic parts?

Standard plastic model cement or cyanoacrylate (super glue) are both suitable, with plastic cement providing stronger seams for larger joints.

How should the canopy be prepared before painting?

Mask the clear parts carefully and clean with a mild detergent to remove oils. Use low-tack tape for masking to preserve clarity before final painting.

Can I weather this kit for a realistic finish?

Yes, light washes and subtle chipping suit this subject; use reference photos to apply period-accurate weathering without overdoing it.
