"The response to my group build has been staggering." @dlee
Still working on this, slowly ! and a change from FAW 2 to FAW 1, see page one !
Even with all the work done on the inlets I've decided they are not accurate enough and too difficult to do the vanes, so covers will be added !

Inlet covers suit the Sea Vixen a lot, my friend @kalamazoo! The work done on the inlets is not a waste, as now you undoubtedly know that implementing FOD covers is the best solution!
Thanks Spiros my friend, but I could have decided that without doing the work ! ----- cockpit almost ready to go in.
Nice cockpit, my friend @kalamazoo!
Thanks Spiros my friend, a bit improved on the kit, in place and the fuselage joined in two steps !

You do a great job tackling the not always perfect "MPM style" fit, my friend @kalamazoo! I hope the MPM plastic is soft enough to manage...
Thanks Spiros my friend, it's not a bad consistency, one seem needed re-gluing, also needs some filler !

Looking great, my friend @kalamazoo! Yes, in limited run kits with less than perfect fit, having a good quality plastic that will help the modeler manage gaps, misfits and the like, is really helpful.
With all those shapes it is bound to be a complicated glueup and a lot of tension in the kit. Starting to look like a sea-vixen.
Thanks Spiros, it does help, -------------- Thanks Erik, needed all those clamps ------------------- Tail booms on and some fillers !
Looking more and more like a Sea Vixen, my friend @kalamazoo! Great job so far, love the brass rod at the NLG leg: adds some of the so much desired strength at at that resin (together with gorgeous looks)?
That has to be a first? Gravity assisted rubberband held alignment? And indeed a nice addition with the brass rod (navybrass?)
Thanks Spiros, it needed it, ------------ Thanks Erik, admirable, ----------------- Tail-plane glued in, first sanding on the booms and fuselage !
Ahh, the gorgeous Sea Vixen shape emerging, my friend @kalamazoo! Looking great so far!
