Thanks Ben. 👀 making progress - slowly 🫡

Bruce Huxtable
Really interesting subject, and liking your progress, Anth.

Anth
Cheers Bruce. It's my first Miniart and quite high part count. But, the fit is generally amazingly good . I did most of the interior for practice but in general I don't find time on stuff that can't be seen at the end enjoyable,

Dietmar Bogatzki

Mr D
Hi Martin 👋😁👍
Looks like interesting kit.
How old is the kit..??

Martin
Thanks Gentlemen!
@Mr. D: The Revell boxing is from 1979/1980 the original ESCI kit is from 1978

Mr D
Thanks Martin 👍
Like it 👌

CaptGPF
Boy, the add-on alone are going to cost more than the kit! I'm taking a seat to see how you spruce this one up!

Maciej Bellos
Joining in!

Rando
Oh my what a project. Will be interesting to see how those detail parts will do. Also nice sheet, what decal option are you going with?

Desert Marlin
That's a challenge!!!

Martin
Thanks a lot gentlemen! Well all those stuff collected dust for many many years, when scale models and add on didn't have such high prices like today, so all this wasn't more than 30 bugs bought at model shows.
@Rando, I haven't decided yet, it will be an US one, but not sure which one.

Desert Marlin
I'll keep watching!

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.

Ian Doody
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.

Nathan Dempsey
Following 👀 Your cockpit is looking very nice.

Mr D
Looks great 👍👍

J35J
Great start!

Ian Doody
Today was Sea Vixen wednesday. Got a few more bits done, added weight to the front, airbrake is in, cockpit is in, air intake trunking fitted, wheel bays in and painted. Dry fitted the booms, it's going to be big, even with the wings folded.

Desert Marlin
Awesomesauce!!!

Ian Doody
Another day with the Sea Vixen. Finally closed the body up, and built the tail plane booms. It'll get much more interesting from now on. Still have lots more sanding, bit of puttying, re scribing panel lines, then I'll paint up the main fuselage and add the tail booms., build the undercarriage, add the wheels, then add the wing fold.

Mr D
Looking great Ian👌
A really interesting aircraft and design, has the Airfix kit been behaving well so far..??
Good luck with next steps 👍👍

Ian Doody
Hi Mr D, it's an interesting kit, definitely a throw back to an older time. Not a patch on the new 1/48 Airfix kits, but it's a fun aircraft to make. The sprue gates are huge though, I've found photo etch knife blades very useful.

Desert Marlin
Sounds like just the thing for a rainy day!!!
