Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😄 Any major fit issues during the build ?

Hi Vince - No, nothing major springs to mind. Hardly any flash, the cockpit canopy fitted perfectly. The most difficult part was the underside of the wings where there were a couple of incorrect fitting points that I had to nip off, but it is obvious when you get to it. If you are building wings folded then you will not need to worry about this.

Album info

CyberHobby Sea Vixen FAW.2 - 1/72 Scale.

Airbrushed with Alclad 2 Milspec and Metals. Some detail work done with a hairy stick and a combination of oils and Tamiya Acrylics.

A very nice kit to build and the decals were wonderful! I know this kit has a few issues with regard to accuracy but fortunately it is not something I would notice. I really enjoyed building this one.

The cockpit was troublesome to airbrush due to the white trim - I definitely would have appreciated a decal for the radar operator's canopy! My hands are just not steady enough to hand paint this kind of detail!

I usually weather my aircraft to be quite dirty but I purposely left this one fairly clean and shiny!

A lovely kit - would recommend it.
