Airfix 1/48 Sea Vixen


Recommended Posts

Bought this from Modelzone for a song before it's demise.

Lovely model, but getting bits off the sprues was a Royal pita without bending things all over the shop.

There was some silvering on the decals but managed to lose most of it with some more Microsol.

I bought the airwaves wing fold, but ended up just using a few of the flat bits and using the kit 3D bits and scratching a few extra bits.

I'm normally crap at seat belts and stuff, but I think these came out OK

I was going to buy some extras but instead of getting the resin airbrake I had a go at scratching one (saved 10 quid on something that wouldn't be seen anyway).

The plates in the intakes were a bit thick so I thinned them down.

Thanks lads, Yes Rick I was quite pleased with the wing fold, a bit of scratch building that's not hidden away underneath or inside.

Very nice result! Which colour did you use for the dark sea gray?

Thank you.

I think it was what Airfix recommended, 123 Humbrol extra dark sea grey (acrylic).
