The Quickboost QB48763 Sea Vixen FAW.2 antennas set is a high-quality modeling accessory dedicated for the Airfix plastic model in 1/48 scale. The product is made of precisely cast resin, characterized by exceptional detail and excellent reproduction of features. The set allows for the installation of realistic antennas characteristic of the de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 fighter, ensuring an accurate recreation of the original’s appearance in miniature.

Historical background and purpose

The de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2 is a British carrier-based jet fighter, used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during the Cold War period, mainly from 1962 to 1972. The Sea Vixen participated in patrols and missions over the Mediterranean Sea and during the Aden conflict, among others. The FAW.2 version was distinguished by improved radar equipment and a set of antennas on the fuselage, which requires modelers seeking historical accuracy to carefully reproduce their arrangement.

Advantages and recommendations

Quickboost QB48763 is an ideal choice for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to enhance the level of detail in their Sea Vixen model. The resin components are highly precise, significantly surpassing the quality of plastic sprues – a crucial advantage in replicating such unique details as antennas and onboard sensors. Assembly requires delicacy and a basic understanding of working with resin; therefore, we recommend a difficulty level of 2 on a five-point scale. The product greatly increases the collector and visual value of models in this scale, making them true-to-original miniatures of Royal Navy aircraft.
