It's quite amazing how well the two kits go together.  :o  :thumbsup:

It'd never have worked with a Javelin.  :-\
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Yes, the complete Phantom fits perfectly, and I could say logically.

That is a high class piece of  work, and a mean and hungry looking  Phixen.    It looks absolutely right!!

Never realized the Sea Vixen was THAT big, I've always imagined it to have been Vampire-sized. ;D The end result is fantastic all the same. :thumbsup:
