Trumpeter 1/48 de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen Faw.2 - Precision Scale Project

The de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen Faw.2 is a standout of Cold War naval aviation, noted for its twin-boom layout and carrier operations. The Trumpeter 05808 1/48 kit gives Canadian hobbyists a chance to reproduce the Sea Vixen with scale-accurate panel lines, cockpit detail and service markings.

Why This Sea Vixen Appeals to Modellers

Coming out of the 1950s era, the Sea Vixen introduced modern radar capability to British naval fighters and carved a unique place in carrier history. Builders will find the Trumpeter kit captures the swept wings, distinctive twin booms and weapon stations, making it a satisfying subject for a display piece.

Assembly Tips and Display Advice

The 1/48 scale provides ample room for enhancements like cockpit detail and weathering. Assembly rewards patient work with a commanding model that looks great on a shelf or in a diorama. Accurate painting and careful seam work will lift the finished Sea Vixen.
