The Sea Vixen is a two-seat, carrier-based jet fighter produced by the British company de Havilland. This aircraft was operated by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm and was in service from 1959 to 1972, mainly during the Cold War. The Sea Vixen was widely used for patrols over northern European waters, and also took part in numerous NATO operations and during the Suez Crisis. Classified as an interceptor aircraft, it stood out for its effective wing design, which allowed them to be folded on the decks of British aircraft carriers.

The presented Eduard 48723 set allows for an exceptionally faithful reproduction of the distinctive, folded Sea Vixen wings, as well as the detailed landing flaps – elements whose details are difficult to achieve in typical plastic models. The set is manufactured using photo-etching technology, which ensures high precision and conformity to the original construction details. All parts can be assembled according to the instructions, and their installation requires accuracy and modeling experience.

We recommend this set to intermediate and advanced modelers – difficulty level: 4/5 – looking for the highest historical and technical accuracy in their projects and wishing to give their model a unique, dynamic appearance in a carrier deck configuration. This is an excellent choice to bring your Airfix Sea Vixen model to the next level of realism when showcasing it in an aircraft carrier diorama.
