De Havilland Sea Vixen FAW.2
Frog originally produced a kit of the DH110 in the late 1950's, a very simplified affair as compared to today's high-tech offerings. It lacked wheel weIIs, had a pilot's head moulded to the top fuselage hulf as its sole cockpit detail and included a couple of lead weights that fitted into slots within the nose to balance it on poorly formed landing gear units. Yet, for all this the outline was surprisingly accurate, and with the resources available to today's modellers this kit could be turned into an absolute musterpiece. It is a much sought after kit today, more so by the modeller rather than collector, no matter what state the model might be in.
