And a 1/700 Type 45 destroyer!! A nice 1/72 Meteor III wouldn't do amiss either.

I wonder if there's any connection between the Sea Vixen and whoever tooled/ designed the 72nd scale Trumpeter Wyvern. By all accounts its a great kit. I think somebody over there has a passion for FAA subjects.

Others, no doubt know more.

Possibly, but I doubt it (but anything is possible). The really good stuff that Trumpeter has done along that line - the Wyvern and the F-107 - were kits initiated by Mono Chrome in Japan, and tooled by Trumpeter for them. Mono Chrome markets them in Japan, and Trumpeter elsewhere in the world. The way it was described to me, Trumpeter cut them a deal on the kits in exchange for rights to market them outside of Japan.

Too right Damien.

Still haven't got around to my Frog/Revell/Aeroclub D.3 yet,so I may just wait and see what Dragon can come up with.

You don't think they could be borrowing Xtrakit's moulds do you?

Gentlemen: Aside from the undersized seats and routine "fit' issues, is the Xtrakit Sea Vixen really that bad? I have obtained the kit and several of Azee's resin update sets to make it better. I have confidence in my skills, so the question on the table is " is the announced Dragon Sea Vixen worth waiting for or should I just proceed with my Xtrakit example?" Chances are that I will build only one example so I want to make it the right one. Of course no one has seen the Dragon example so the real focus is whether the Xtrakit is buildable?

Suggest you take a look at my build thread:

Depends how many of the faults bug you or not really but I certainly don't fancy building another one.
