What happens when a Phantom and Sea Vixen have a child     

[Wardukw]

I like this one     

[chrisonord]

[Steel Penguin]

[sandiego89]

Holy smokes, that is great! 

well done

[Captain Canada]

Wow.

[kerick]

Looks a natural!

[uncletain]

There is something about the sea vixen lines that exudes beauty
Then adding the power of a phantom!
Excellent work       

[Old Wombat]

Lovely build!

[McColm]

Well done, that's given me an idea 

[Dizzyfugu]

Cool   

Personally, I'd probably have eliminated that tail cone above the engines and lowered the spine. But I find it amazing that the parts match size-wise so well. 

[su27rules]

          great!!

[NARSES2]

Looks a natural!

Totally agree   

[Glenn Gilbertson]

Very handsome - well done!
I often wondered if the mothballed Sea Vixen airframes could have been resurrected to operate off HMS Majestic (HMAS Melbourne) in the Falklands War. In whifworld  they could have been updated by integrating USN surplus F-4 cockpits & radars with Sidewinder capability. Melbourne operated Trackers, so perhaps a few E-1 Tracers could have been rescued from the desert for a modicum of AEW cover.

At the time of the Falklands War, maintenance crews aboard Melbourne were putting Jason pistols* through the flight deck, the hangar deck & the deck below.

She was in no condition to land Trackers or Skyhawks, let alone something as big & heavy as a Sea Vixen or a Phixen.
