De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2

Making something from the 1950s, that was still flying when I was born, Sea Vixen XS577 No.899 NAS HMS Eagle, March 1975. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1/48 De Havilland Sea Vixen. A plane I've been in love with for years. Finally getting to build it. Definitely the last of the old style Airfix kits, and you can see in some places why this hasn't been re released, sink marks and thick attachment points, but I hope they do one day, as everyone should have one. Built up and painted up the cockpit today, I'll make some home made seatbelts tomorrow to spruce it up a bit. So far, enjoying it immensely. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, today I've added seatbelts to the pilots seat, added extra detail to and painted up the inside of the airbrake, and made a start on the undercarriage. Fun day.
