Looks good. I might have to get one, anyone know if the Canadians used this version?

We used the F.3 at home and the FB.5 for a short while before 421 got their Sabres delivered to the UK. The FB.9 had an extended fairing on the starboard wing root which covered an air conditioning system. Otherwise the two marks were externally similar. Therefore this kit could portray one of 421's Vampires with only a trifle of work.
