I popped down to see Roy at Panther on Wednesday to pick up my Firefly. Whilst i was there i picked up the Sea Vixen. This kit isnt due out yet but i took the basic kit only without the Resin parts. I have been waiting for this model since i first saw it when i bought a Skyraider from him. I love the Sea Vixen and i want to get it right so i may take a while doing this. I may also scratchbuilt the interior and undercarriage.
I got the plans enlarged from the Warpaint book and used them. The outline looks good  I did notice that to my eyes the intake splitter plates (not sure if thats what theyre called) were too wide. I think that they are slightly less pronounced than the kit so i have altered them to my tastes.   I have filled them and reshaped them . Its all been alot of fun at the moment i must say. Im very grateful for having a 32nd scale vixen too. |

Heres the last of my progress today. Ive cut out the cockpit locations and side window. Ive also added the bulged navigators roof fairing. It needs blending in a little. This wasnt on all Sea Vixens. Im pleased with my splitters too. I may start the basic cockpit tomorrow.

Heres all of the main parts laid out. I cant wait to get this in one piece , but i need to build the cockpit first. The tailplane is resin.
 Here is a shot of it next to my Fisher Sea Fury for scale.
