So far, it actually looks better than a Vixen &, almost, as ruggedly handsome as the Phantom. ;) :smiley:

All primed up, awaiting scheme choice.

Love it! :-*
Me too :-*
Added strake at wing root flows in sooo well.
-
That is ticking a lot of boxes.
Very nice idea :smiley:
-
Very nice! Love the name too :smiley:
-
Woah! :smiley:
-
Love this! Another classic case of "Why didn't I think of this"!
I had no idea the Vixen was as big as a Phantom. I just assumed it was smaller for carrier ops. Will the Phantom tail have a rear facing radar?
-
No mate, still a brake poarachute. It does look like a radar though.
-
I’ve got a Phantom phuselage laying around doing nothing……
Can’t wait to see the paint scheme!
-
The whole flows together very nicely. Given the size of the tail cone relative to the original, I think you'd have room for braking chutes and a radar fit. (I'd probably do something like a manned tail gun, but I am a little eccentric...)
-
Oh yeah! This is wild AND it looks great!
-
OK, that works ridiculously well. Beautifully done and a great idea!
-
More photos soon ?
-
No updates for 3 weeks! I'm getting withdrawals! :o
-
Be patient little one ;)

This aircraft blend looks so right it's a wonder it wasn't a "was". 8)
-
This is righteous!
Definitely a should have been.
-
Whoa baby!! :-* :-* :-*

Yes! Love it :smiley:
-
Already a winner! ;)
-
Meant to be :smiley:

I was in a model shop today & managed to leave without buying anything :o, but, brother, was I sorely tempted to buy a Vixen & a Phantom to build one of these! :-\ ;)
-
Gosh that looks so right!
I showed this to a modelling friend who's also into Cold War British jets and all he said was "Christ that'd be heavy" ;D
-
Everything is heading in the right direction. Looking very, very nice :smiley:
-
:smiley: :smiley: Gotta try this in 1/72nd !

Can't see it being much heavier than a standard Phantom tbh. The only real add ons are the booms :smiley:
-
The Phixen has an ID

Man oh man, is there going to be some double takes when that hits a table at some show somewhere.
Really like this build :smiley:

Perfect!

So normal RW looking. Must be back story about at least one squadron's worth (if not more) being built and deployed.
-
So gorgeous! :-*

I see a US version with J-79 engines and a gun under the nose!

At Museum of Flight model show saw 1/72 Phantom and Sea Vixen side by side. Was doing mental Phixen kit-bash. Never would have perceived it before :smiley:
-
Nice build.
Cracking paint job :smiley:
