CyberHobby Sea Vixen FAW.2 - 1/72 Scale.

Airbrushed with Alclad 2 Milspec and Metals. Some detail work done with a hairy stick and a combination of oils and Tamiya Acrylics.

A very nice kit to build and the decals were wonderful! I know this kit has a few issues with regard to accuracy but fortunately it is not something I would notice. I really enjoyed building this one.

The cockpit was troublesome to airbrush due to the white trim - I definitely would have appreciated a decal for the radar operator's canopy! My hands are just not steady enough to hand paint this kind of detail!

I usually weather my aircraft to be quite dirty but I purposely left this one fairly clean and shiny!

A lovely kit - would recommend it.
