Replaced Sea Venoms serving aboard HMAS Melbourne from 1963 until the carrier was decommissioned in 1981. A 1967 upgrade gave the ability to carry AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles in addition to the original Firestreak armament

Holy Smokes, Marty...you're all over the place with cool models !

Love the look of this one. Great idea for the sidewinders as well.....that would really make her a great fighter. I've got one half built somewhere, and it's always been a kit I've wanted to do. I wish one would come out in 144th scale. Just something so cool about the shape, makes me want to fly it around the room.....

:cheers:

Real pretty! I love carrier birds, and I love twin tails, so this gets me twice over!  :thumbsup:
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Nice model and very credible.  :thumbsup:

Who else might have beem persuaded to take the Sea Vixen? Canada? The Netherlands? India?

Looks good.  Simple, clean and quite plausible.
