Thank'ee one and all.  It went surprisingly easily and quickly.  I was surprised how close the two fuselages matched up.  I was also rather surprised at how portly the Sea Vixen was.   Four 30mm cannon, plus two IR and two SARH missiles.  Not a bad warload and it balanced out the weight of the tail booms rather well.

Excellent.  I once see out to do a tandem Sea Vixen (a 'Supervixen' - http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,21077.msg299164.html#msg299164) but in the end didn't.  My approach was to have extended the fuselage - hadn't contemplated grafting the nose off something else onto it.

Really well done.  :thumbsup:

Minor point: 'kept' the 30mm ADENs? The Sea Vixen never had ADENs: the DH.110 had provision for them, but they were replaced by almost-never-used retractable Microcell 2" RP packs on the Sea Vixen.

In my world, they never lost the 30mm ADENs...  ;)
