Michael51 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Lovely work. Great detail on the stores and a most convincing overall colour scheme. Where did you get the clear rod for the landing sequence and how did you bend it? Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For shaping it, I put it in an oven, heated it up, and bent it over a broom handle. Cheers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Impeccable build and finish, and the setting elevates it to master class. Compelling illusion of a deck landing. Bravo! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIGHTS ON Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 best finished Sea Vixen I've seen. Outstanding finish with the model although I suspect the pilot will get a poor grade for that landing! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ian, That IS the way to do it. Just lovely. (I remember having a good look around one of these in basic training at Halton all of 40 years ago. Built like a brick outhouse. I also seem to remember it had four hydraulic systems!* The Navs' cockpit was like a coalshed!) * Though one was probably the blowdown system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
