Default Bob Dively Vixen

I just picked up a NIB Bob Dively Vixen. Does anybody have any info on this unique model, when it was produced, any articles? Unfortunetly, there's no date on the plans or box. Thanks Guys!

FB,

That's a unique model, obviously based on this chap, the good old Brit De Havilland Sea Vixen. Never heard of the kit before.

Very correct on what the model is based on. The model is certainly off the beaten path, eh? I do remember the kit being available some years back, but have never seen or read anything about the model. Hoping somebody has some input/experience with it.

FB,

I see it is still mentioned on their web site, although marked as discontinued. Perhaps it's not so old and a call to them might produce some information.

Great idea Ray! I didn't know that Dively was still open for business. I'll give them a call on Monday. Thanks for the lead!

Don't know, that's what I'm trying to find out. I really don't remember this being on the scene any time in the 70s or the 80s for that matter.
