Truro Model Builder Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) As usual I was trading at Culdrose air day and as I was outside rather than in the hangar I was able to watch a bit more of the flying display than in previous years. The Sea Vixen closed the show and I have to say that in the sunlight it was positively gleaming. Add to that the fact that it is now flying with underwing tanks and it looked superb. Somehow it never looked right with empty wing pylons. Glossy paint finish, wings sparkling in the sun... just glorious! All naval aircraft should be painted gloss extra dark sea grey and white in my opinion. Edited August 1, 2015 by T7 Models 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sounds glorious! I had the opportunity of joining an air to air photo shoot of the Sea Vixen, but it was just too expensive! I found this thread on another forum that shows her off nicely. http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=68642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
