- Sea Vixen, a ship jet fighter developed by De Havyland in the UK after the Second World War.
- In the latter half of the war, the United Kingdom, which has entered the battle of the Allied fighter jet, the only jet fighter, Gloucester Mitia, proactively promoted the development of jet fighter aircraft after the war.
- De Havyland Company, which succeeded in the first flight of Vampire as the UK's second jet fighter following the Meiji in 1943 during World War II, adopted a characteristic design of the twin tail boom.
- After that, we inherited similar designs and developed Seabenom and Sea Vixen.
- Sea Vixen was the culmination of De Havyland's twin tail boom design and it was the first flight in 1951. Troops deployment began in 1959.
- In 1962, an improved type was installed with an air refueling equipment and increased fuel loading, and operation began in 1963.
- 29 new machines were produced in FAW.2, but most of FAW.1, which had more than 100 machines produced and deployed, was refurbished to FAW.2.
- Sea Vixen mounted on the aircraft carrier Eagle continued operation until 1972.
- Modeling of improved FAW.2 following FAW.1, which has already been on sale and is well received, accurately reproduces the difference in detail.
- Aircraft with a cockpit that was offset to the left side updated upper fuselage parts including the upper hatch of the radar handsheet.
- In addition, the shape of the twin-tail boom that housed the fuel tank with the new mold modeled accurately.
- Combination of accurate reproduction and reliable assembly with complicated design of aircraft shape also with parts division, accurate processing technology, widely used slide die technology and so on.
- Panel line can enjoy sharp and accurate expression using laser processing technology.
- The marking sets 6 types including 899 SQ belonging to HMS Eagle with Shark Mouse drawn on the nose and 892 SQ belonging machine that flew at the air show held at Yeovilton Base in 1968.
- I am looking forward to the colorful mark of the tail wings. Already already on the same 1/72 scale, De Beersen 's Sea Vixen FAW.1, as well as Seabenom and Vampire models are also on sale.
- It would be interesting to see a line up of jet fighter aircraft with twin tail boom.
