Trumpeter 1/48 de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen Faw.2 - Scale Modelling Choice

The de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen Faw.2 is a notable example of postwar naval aircraft with a distinctive twin-boom silhouette. The Trumpeter 05808 1/48 kit allows modellers to recreate this British fighter with attention to cockpit layout and airframe details.

Heritage and Modelling Interest

Introduced in the 1950s, the Sea Vixen was among the early naval fighters fitted with advanced radar, boosting interception capabilities. For modellers it offers interesting shapes and systems to capture, and the kit reflects those signature elements accurately.

Construction Notes and Presentation

At 1/48 scale the model offers room for cockpit upgrades and realistic weathering. Builders should plan assembly stages and masking for paintwork to present a museum-quality model or an eye-catching shelf display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes
  • Paint and Decals: Included
Yes, the 1/48 scale provides enough space to fit aftermarket seats, harnesses and instrument decals to enhance realism.
Standard hobby acrylics and enamels adhere well to the plastic after a light wash and primer. Follow the painting guide for recommended colours.
Timing varies by skill, but an intermediate modeller should budget several weekends for assembly, filling and painting to achieve a high-quality finish.
