Wonderful entry Allan @kalamazoo!
I was wondering when you were gonna start posting this build. Your kit buries the old Frog Vixen - and you have a cockpit, lucky guy!
Looking forward to your posts Allan.

I so much love it when I see full intakes (and right depth exhausts) at kits, Allan @kalamazoo!
Even more so in 1/72! The realism added is so important.
Looking good!

I’m jealous about the Vixens inlets 😉
Good idea about the boom support Allan.

Thanks George, I hope the inlets come up OK, no locators on this kit !
