Airfix Sea Vixen 1/48th - first look

 ...huge box arrived today courtesy of my local arts & craft shop, RRP £29  - what a bargain. A quick look inside the very large box before getting down to work. Decal sheet is huge, instructions comprise over 80 stages, with notes covering realistic configurations for the airbrake, wheel doors and flaps. The kit includes the parts for the intake trunking, panel lines are very finely engraved and there is a choice of weighted and un-weighted wheels and a full set of underwing stores. The consensus -even among the Airfix detractors- is that  this is a really fine looking kit. Click on the images etc ...
