"Part 4 of 4 on the De Havilland Twin Boomers. The Sea Vixen FAW2

I love this model! This was the first ever "article build" of mine in SAMI - seven years ago!  Its Dynavector's vacuum formed kit of course, and I built it in two weeks, but that included some very late sessions!!

It wasn't the easiest of kits to build - unlike their Scimitar! I had trouble with the boom overwing tanks.  I needed a fair amount of Milliput to plug the resultant gaps!!

She's finished as an 899 NAS bird, whilst flying off of HMS Eagle in the early 1970's - she looks great next to my other Extra Dark Sea Grey and White (& Sky!) Sea-Birds!!"
