The VIXEN arrived earlier today, unpacked it after work hoping all was well.

The box looked as though it had been through the wars but luckily the main moulded parts were all in one piece with no damage, the canopy took a hit at some point and has been cracked and a piece missing at the rear on the side so hope to either repair, cover up or replace depending on time.

Paint is very good overall and nice not to have seams

Assembled the main parts and managed to get some shots in the sun tonight, looks like it wants to fly........

Will shoot some pics of the accessories although these might not be the final set as this is still the first 'production' model and my feedback will result in a few changes to hardware I am sure.

Bypass was included so will look to instal this and keep the propulsion system fully ducted, if time does not pan out will leave off for now.

More to follow over the next few days, enjoy.
