Airfix Sea Vixen build - part two

Martin Baker ejector seats

As I have mentioned I purchased the True Details Martin Baker seats from Squadron. These resin parts have terrific detail and are both represented with different arrangements of straps to add to the authenticity.


I used this resource Nick Park photographs on Flickr for the paint scheme following it as best I could. I ended up using Calthan Brown, Commando Khaki, Bleached bone, Grey blue, Black Green, Golden Yellow, Flat read and Chainmail to get the look. Its a shame most of the detail will be hidden in the cockpit but I was really please that the green control box on the right hand side is visible from the navigator position.

The next picturs I post will show these seats in position in the cockpit.

Comments, suggestions always welcome.
