1/72 Dragon / Cyber Hobby Sea Vixen FAW.2, XP922, 899 Sqn, HMS Eagle 1971
I had this one sitting on the Shelf of Doom for quite some time so decided to show it some TLC.
Replacement resin nose and seats as the kit ones were awful. I also extended the front gear a few mm to raise the nose and improve the sit to replicate the nose high look.
I have heard a few grumblings about this kit but I had a pleasant build overall and for me it looks every bit like the Vixen.
Airbrushed using Tamiya XF-24 for the EDSG and Tamiya white. Flory wash used to highlight the panel lines and add some general grubbiness to the belly. Cartograph decals went on a treat.
I plan on building the new Airfix Buccaneer in the HMS Eagle scheme as I think that they will make a great looking pair.
