The wiki: The de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen is a twin boom, twin-engined 1950s–60s British two-seat jet fighter operated by the Fleet Air Arm. It was designed by de Havilland during the late 1940s. Developed from an earlier first generation jet fighter, the Sea Vixen was a carrier-based fleet defence fighter that served into the 1970s. The Sea Vixen had the distinction of being the first British two-seat combat aircraft to achieve supersonic speed, albeit not in level flight.

This is an absolutely beautiful bird. This plane took me longer than I'd like to admit, but I am happy with the end result. She features asymmetric cockpits for the pilot and navigator, the extended fuel boom for mid-air pit-stops, and six hard points for a variety of munitions. I have added two drop-tanks to extend her range a bit, and you can drop them with Ag1. Ag7 will ditch the remaining arms should you find yourself in need to make an emergency landing (The sole surviving flyable plane had hydraulic issues and had to perform a belly landing with gear up in May 2017). She also has flaps for take off and landing, and custom landing gear and decals.

As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements or a plane you would like to see built. This build comes courtesy of a request from @ThePlot. Thank you so much for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!

    @Sgtk I could have a go at adding them if you'd like. I've a penchant for either fixing designs (and this doesn't need fixing) or adding things. Such as folding wings.
