It's a monster

Wow ! Just had my first proper look at the sea vixen. If this is what airfix are going to produce from now on I'm a very happy bunny. The detail is nicely done. The cockpit seems to have a nice level of detail, not to sure about the seats yet. One look at the nose cone tells you this is a big aircraft.

Tornado down ! tornado down !

I've had enough of fighting with it.

Wish a tornado would come and blow this away

I've got to the stage where everytime I do or add something, I ruin what I've done before. The boz pod is about to go in the bin. I've managed to mould some milliput to make a skyshadow pod. Just to top it all off I think the landing gear is the wrong colour. Grrrrrr !

Retail therapy

I decided to brave the shops yesterday with a trip to Lakeside. I got some modelzone vouchers for Christmas and needed (yes ! needed) to spend them. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of different manufactures that they stock now. The usual suspects were there but also some Eduard, Dragon and Roden.

I picked up a few kits, all 1/72.

• Revell Gloster Gladiator
• Airfix Hawk T MK1A
• Italeri Starfighter
• Revell F16B Fighting Falcon (Only £4.99 in the sale)

I also got a few paints and some more masking tape.

The big bonus being that i walked out with some money left.

Nice start to the day

My baby has landed, the sea vixen is finally in my hands.

Change of heart

Some of the decals I had put on started to flake off for whatever reason , so I pulled the rest off and replaced them with some 617 sqn markings from an radical sheet I had. I had to paint the radome again and the top of the tail.
