I want to build a 1:6 or there abouts scale jet model of the Sea Vixen. Does anyone out there have access to real drawings of this aircraft? This model will have twin turbines in her and will be full scale. I have found line drawings but a lot of them are not quite right. I especially need cutaway or sectional drawings of the fuselage. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dean 🙂

I have just the thing for you maybe.

It just so happens that I work on the Sea Vixen at the Midland Air Museum and have my own manual for her. Apart from all the mechanical detail, it also has all cross sections cutaways and all the dimensions you need to build a full scale Vixen.

It’s a proper DeHavilland Manual and it will be as accurate as you will ever find with the info you need.

I’ll sort out all the info you want and send it to you. PM me so we can chat more and so I can get your address to send the drawings 😉

BBmf, CWH Lancs, Sally B and Liberty Bell as a 4 ship would be an opener matey.

Keep the Vulcan for the Heavy Metal Shows and Legends to the Warbirds of the two World Wars:)

Oh yeah, and shift Legends one week either way:D

Very nice pictures Rob.

I think on picture one though your shading could have been a bit better around the…………………………………:p

I rather like the Zero. Kind of sums up the futility of war.

Thanks mate. Were all so used to seeing these aircraft being painted in the air or being shot down, but thought it would be a different approach and quite frankly I think it paid off 🙂

A Typhoon in a museum already………………

What a disaster:D

Ok, my turn again. I have done a few since I last posted my other drawings on here so here they are. All charcoal with a little help from some lead in places.

Lost Pacific Warrior

Broken Bird

110’s Over the Estuary

Blessing the Boys

Maintaining the Mustang

Fuelling the 109

Coming Home

Bears Over the Valley

I have to admit, I have my favourite and thats the last one, Bears Over the Valley. Three F8F Bearcats flying over the USS Valley Forge after returning from a mission on April 15th 1943. Their is just something about the character of it that makes it such a special drawing to me. 12 hours to complete over 3 days and have to admit it looks stunning in the black frame I have mounted it in.

Hi all, a nice collection of art and familiar people here 🙂

Here’s some of my more recent ones:

These are incredible pictures:eek: This one of the Spit attacking the He111’s is just insperational. It’s not the same though doing them in CGI as it is doing them by hand.

Very good to look at still though;)
