Airfix Sea Vixen (3)

some work on the Sea Vixen's cockpit - as it is painted black overall it is possible to build up this neatly detailed area of the kit prior to getting the paints out. Note the detail of the observer's radar scope. I've left the seats out for the moment, as they can probably be best painted on the sprue. Once painted the cockpit then inserts very easily into the upper fuselage half. Incidentally the colour information in the Airfix instructions is rather unhelpful.Photo background is Chris Clifford's superlative build in issue 1 of the new Airfix magazine..
