Out2gtcha Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Nice. I love the Sea Vixen. I've wanted a 1/32nd version for years. Never ever wanted one bad enough to invest the needed work a vac takes David66, LSP_K2, paul fisher and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever wanted one bad enough to invest the needed work a vac takes Amazing to me how little reference there seems to be (that I'm aware of), on the Sea Vixen. I have the Warpaint book, and an Ian Allan volume, and that's it. Out2gtcha and Jack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, just to have an idea of what the vacform parts look like: And PMC (panther modelling club) also provided resin and white metal parts as AM products: I managed to get hold of this kit before the company wasn't anymore, but the vac parts are pretty good, not too thick or too "fluffy", and the resin parts look good IMHO,........and ofcourse it is still in the stash, dohhh Edited November 27, 2017 by Jack MikeC, Rick Griewski, Menelaos and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Neat! Still looks like WAY too much work though. David66, Rick Griewski, Jack and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozens of pages of detailed walkaround pictures! paul fisher and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I've done the Airfix 48th, that's going to take some beating as it's a lovely kit. I was tempted by the Airfix 1/48 offering but it passed me by during a year of indecision in which it appeared and disappeared, never to be seen again (except at inflated prices on ebay). The Trumpeter might be the best available next year, though I understand there do exist some 1/72 stocking fillers. This subject is a classic example of I-could-live-with-just-about-any-error-Trumpeter-can-reasonably-make-as-long-as-it's-in-1/32-scale.

LSP_K2 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The best book has been published by Barracuda. Dozens of pages of detailed walkaround pictures! Amazon has a few books, but they all seem to cover the Vampire, Venom and Sea Vixen, rather that the Sea Vixen exclusively. I'd imagine the Barracuda book would be pretty interesting, though it does not seem to be in our database (yet). Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Looks like one I'll give a miss then. If it came with the resin, I'd be all over it but I'd struggle with the landing gear and cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
