Great plane ( a favourite of mine ) and I really enjoyed building this kit though initially MattBacon had to "persuade" me to do it for the World of Frog CBK display.

[Molly-new]

Great choice, and a mean looking craft.

[novokits]

One question for collective mind before I begin. Nose cone in FROG kit is more short that should be?

Today UPD (and for other Dragon and MPM kits in stash)

I think I have read that the issues with the Frog Vixen was it nose shape and the height of the pilots canopy, between the two problems it makes the kit look slightly short and fat.

I still think its a good kit for its age. I think when I get to build mine I will fold the nose and wings that should hide the problems

I also think about the folded wings ... And now (and in subway) I'll read Snorry research article about Sea Vixen kits on russian forum (He is very strong researcher )

[novokits]

therefore, it is possible to continue further

[PaulBradley]

There are LOTS of shape issues with that kit - one to just build and enjoy as is, I think! I don't think ANY of the available Sea Vixen kits are that good, TBH. It would be nice if Airfix scaled down their 1/48 kit......

[novokits]

I too hope on Airfix. Expecting this event, I fill with putty and and then sanding NOVO kit

[Molly-new]

Looking good so far, that nose cone is going to need some serious work to blend it in though. Something you must be used to with your liking for NOVO kits.

[TobyC]

Good work so far. Looks like a straight forward build. That offset cockpit takes a bit of getting used to.

[novokits]

ready for paint works.
last time when I waving a big rasp, was 15-20 year ago.

[bluesteel]

Well it's certainly looking like a Sea Vixen now

[Stuart]

Looking good!
