Global Scale Modeller

Hi all,
Here is my Sea Vixen, in 899 NAS colours. I added the Pavla cockpit set, and Aires wheel wells and air brake sets, plus an Eduard ladder. Dropped a clanger weathering the under side of the outer wings so tried to knock it back a bit by spraying some thinned white, which is why it looks a bit odd. I lost the navigator's side window so had to scratch a replacement, which I'm rather pleased with.

I made some FOD guards and ID lights for the nose gear door as well.

Its got my first ever attempt at post-shading on it too.























Thanks for looking,
Gareth

What a weird looking bird.
I've never seen anything like it. It's completely cool.
I love what you've done to her. She's a beaut!

My absolute favourite aircraft built and painted superbly by yourself. The folding wings and access ladder are fantastic. It's a joy to look at those photo's

Cheers chaps, glad you like it!

Thats a Stunner mate!! KUTGW

Outstanding.

That looks awesome dude! The addition of the FOD guards and ladder are a really nice touch!

Outstanding indeed. Great job. I might just have to get this kit.

Echo that lads... She's fantastic, I've got a bit of a thing for twin boomers. What was it like to put together Gareth? Airfix does blow hot and cold....

Thanks for the comments chaps.

Fit was generally very good Joesdad. One or two niggles, but nothing major, and the booms go on solidly and positively.

I'm not a fan of how the side window is engineered, so it was a blessing in disguise when I lost mine and had to scratch a new one.

Dropped flaps will reduce a lot of work where the wrap around the booms, as fit there is poor in the raised configuration.

Cheers,
Gareth

I'll add it to me Xmas list then goon old boy.....

Awesome build fella! Looks really good, well done! I was looking at this kit yesterday, does it come with the wing folds included?

Cheers

Nicely done!

The wing folds are out of the box Chief. I think they are pretty good as they are, some extra scratched stuff would make them look really good.

Cheers!

Wow, that's a good kit then. I might just treat myself! Thanks for the info mate.

superb work looks so real bud...

Awesome work on a very interesting aircraft.
Very well done my friend !

Great weathering on the wings and the cockpit detail is great especially the seats

Sorry for coming in late...

Thats one to be proud of! Excellent finish and detail work!
Well done!

Great build and paintjob !

Mine is now calling me from the stash !!

Absolute stunner!

That is seriously good, the aftermarket stuff really brings it to life. Love the weathering on the underside of the folded wings.

That is truly superb, a build to be proud of.

I just noticed that I told you back in September that your build was fantastic. I must be sniffing too many tubes of epoxy these days I have no memory of posting before.

But, thats just shows you how good it is mate, you got two compliments from me !!
