Splash's Royal Naval Sea Viper ***Finished***

[MerlinJones]

Let the Soviets stick pipework on theirs...we Brits have more...er....class.

(Upper, Middle and Lower, apparently).

That nose looks better than mine, being smoothed in so well.
You got room for fuel?

Having seen what all the other Group Builders are doing, I think mine is looking a bit tame.

No, it looks quite sleek and deadly ... nice work !!!

You got room for fuel?

It’s an old Naval Tradition they never give Navel a/c too much fuel as it stops the pilots straying to far away from the ships they should be protecting, but I think you were right so I have added two slipper tanks on the side.

Due to time constraints I might slow down on this GB and plod on with my Dauntless for the Pearl Harbour GB, then come back to it with plenty of time to finish before the GB closes.

[MerlinJones]

Good move. Looks like it could have the legs for an extended CAP now.

Mine has the abbility to be maintaind by pesant farmers

It certainly looks mean from the front.

I have now given it a light coat of white primmer, which has shown a few minor bits like the nose join, that will need fixing.

I might just give it a blow over with Dark Sea Grey just to see what it will look like in RN colours.

It's looking more Naval now.

I have added the u/c and painted the intakes red to look like FOD guards

[MerlinJones]

OooooOOOOOoooOOOOOoooooh!

Good job Splash that's looking great especially with those wheels down.

Hi Guys

Thanks for you help and suggestions, I have enjoyed this GB, it has been my first Whiff and I think I might just do something like this again.

Here is the finished Royal Naval Sea Viper, it’s not as sleek as the original Angel Intercepter, but to be fair Naval a/c always are a bit more rugged and not always as attractive as their Air Force equivalents.

[MerlinJones]

Very, very cool...and congratulations on being first past the post!
Any chance of a photo of the finished Sea Viper in this pose?



It looks so ready to be launched.

Regards,
Bruce

Is this OK?

[JamesPerrin]

Cool, definitely looks like a Naval bird. Some serial codes and ejector seat warnings would help give it some extra detail.
