Ian M's Sea Vixen FAW2

[Ian M]

Spent most of this evening on a mission. I pin washed all the panel lines!!! Do you have any idea just how many panel lines, latches and covers there are on this darn thing!!!

Got the legs and wheels on as well.

Only the bottom here as the top was hard to see and the legs need to set up. The first picture is with flash the the others with out.

My eyes are now well and truly looking at each other and saying Hey I know you!!!:smile8:

Pin wash came out great! That must have taken quite some time but looks well worth the effort Ian.

I liked this build lots before, I now like it loads - that's promotion !

Thanks Chaps! much appreciated.

Been spending the day on and off decaling. The main decals for the actual aircraft was no problem. The Stencil data on the other hand..... There are literally hundreds of them.

I'm just about done on the top side but I can assure you there are more left on the sheet than I have put on the model!!!! So Tomorrow will see the undersides getting done.

If I say so my self, its not looking bad.

Well the light is at the end of the tunnel.

Here are a few snaps of the decal bespotted Vixen before the satin clear goes on the top. A couple of days to harden then its the undersides turn.

So as it is now, it a case of getting the wings on, arming her up then a few touch ups on the wing joints.

This might be the last post before the roll out.

Very impressive Ian , the extra details youve added really make it into something special. Did the ' no walk ' decals on the upper fuselage behave themselves , it looks like a tricky part of the build , trying to avoid silvering . Keep it up mate , nearly there , looking forward to seeing the reveal , cheers tony

[Ian M]

Thanks Tony.

The decals behaved quite well actually. They seam a bit thick, and they did take three or four hammering's with the old micro sol to get them down in the panel lines. The No walk here where a bit of a nightmare thinking of it but when it came to it they where simple enough. But I made double sure their was a good gloss base to put them on.
