1/72 China Eastern: de Haviland Sea Vixen




Derby City Model Club Competition 17th May 2012 - Placed 3rd

This was built as per box instructions for the Model Club Competition ' British Jets'. I decided I wanted to do a sea Vixen as it looks different to most aircraft. Sourcing it was difficult and this one was won on Ebay.

Building was simple and straightforward. Painting was hard as I have discovered white paint is difficult to get right. This one is painted with Wilko's white primer. I have learnt not to varnish over white paint as it turns a yellow colour.

Pleased with 3rd place for my first model competition!
