Airfix Sea Vixen build - part five

Finally got the main paint scheme sprayed on. Couple of coats rubbed down with micromesh in between. Finally a couple of coats of Tamiya XF-22 Clear coat to help lock everything in and provide a smooth surface for decal application.

In the first picture here you can see I have attached the refuelling probe. This is in fact an after market item from www.luckymodel.com . They sell a pack with replacement resin wing hinges and it also includes a brass refuelling probe and two very  fine alloy pitot tubes. I didn't need the hinges but the probe and tubes are excellent, and robust.

Next to the aircraft you can see the probe from the kit and one of the new pitot tubes.

Next step is to start applying the decals. This looks like it is going to be a marathon job. We'll see.
