The F. Mk.3 version was introduced into service just after the conflict and was an improved development of earlier versions—featuring upgraded equipment and extended range thanks to an additional fuel tank. These aircraft served in the Royal Air Force and many other air forces around the world. The Vampire F. Mk.3 was used mainly in the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Sweden, and several other countries from 1946, throughout the Cold War period, until the early 1960s. It often participated in NATO exercises and in air defense operations.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details of the Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of original use: United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Sweden and others\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: End of World War II, start of the Cold War (1946–1960)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: Plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-quality polystyrene plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSet contents: Plastic parts, clear components, decals for several paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNot included: Glue and paints – sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDifficulty level: 3\/5 – recommended for intermediate modelers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Special Hobby 72279 D.H.100 Vampire F.
