1/48 Airfix De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2

Post by IanG »

My finished Sea Vixen.
A very enjoyable build, the kit went together really well, with virtually no filler used.
Painted with Hataka Red Line Extra Dark Sea Grey, and Orange Line Traffic White.
Weathered with Ultimate wash, and AK Interactive pigments.
Motion blur carrier deck (HMS Eagle) courtesy of Coastal Kits Display Bases.

Hi

Thank you.
I asked Gary Morton, at Coastal Kits Display Bases, to do this base for me. Told what I was after, he did the test. As it’s now in his database, he can easily print off another one, or even do the same idea for any of his bases.
