I is active! I is active!!! Yippee!
Thanks JackJ! 
Here are some pics. It's all blue tacked together at the moment.
The deck masked and part painted:
Masking removed, it needs a bit of tidying up:
I came across some cracking tiny aircraft on this site (Bac's Yank Carrier, USS Frosty or something). Some hints on how you did them would be great mate. One day I might manage an OOB build but right now I have to mess around with everything, including this Sea Vixen.
More pics to follow though I'm one of the "glacial build speed" type...  |

Thanks Jack.
So, some more pics.
The kit mast:
The lovely WEM parts! Horribly delicate and the 18 parts took about seven hours to glue together. I have to get a better glue.
