That's a beauty, Oleg.
Did you make all those red markings on the fuselage from tiny decal strips?

Re: Novokits Sea Vixen
Superb result there! 
The red lining is a pain when there are no decals provided
; I sprayed the topside fuselage red on mine, before masking each and every line in .3mm tape and spraying the dark grey

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Novokits Sea Vixen
That's a great result. Well worth all the effort you put into it.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Novokits Sea Vixen
Really well done - you've got a mighty fine completed model there.
Re: Novokits Sea Vixen
Thanks Guys!
Really I made red outline from other decals. This was contours from decals sheet of old Travers 1/72 Pe-2. And about folded wing: I'll make this on Dragon (Cyberhobby) kit. Frog a good kit, but some simplification I have decided not to use. It looks out of place on a finished kit.
Unfortunately, I'm a bad photographer today. But if you want to take a look, full album here https://www.flickr.com/photos/43302375@ ... 7776049576;

Re: Novokits Sea Vixen
By the way, approx before 2006 Sea Vixen kit produced at a toy factory in Donetsk. However, the factory went bankrupt. Obviously, the fact, that while there are people in Russia (http://www.ark-models.org/catalog.php?cid=70;) who bought Frog tools, should please anyone who loves kits Frog.
And most importantly (why I laugh?) they made red outline on decals for Sea Vixen!!!

Re: Novokits Sea Vixen
Those do look really good decals that Ark has done for their release of the old frog lit.

Re: Novokits Sea Vixen
Excellent job. I just obtained one of these kits, this will be my building guide when it reaches my bench. That really was one honkin big fighter plane.

A good model is any model you can walk away from.
