Title: Anyone remember a 1960ish "Vixen"?
Post by: Terry Caron on November 18, 2015, 09:52:13 PM

It suddenly popped into my memory that one of the last models I built as a young feller was a "Vixen", maybe Carl Goldberg?
I won't swear to any of this, but it was most likely 1/2A, maybe a double boom combat style.
An ad pic or plan would be a bonus.

Thanks.

Maybe it was a 1960 Viper by Sterling? A 1/2A Stunter.
- one on eBay right now.
There was a Sea Vixen twin boom, but couldn't find any control line models of it.

It wasn't the Sea Vixen.
I remember the decal, a blue-gray fox leaping slightly "downhill", but that and the name are the only clear memories I have of it.
I'm sure the very last model I built was a CG Lil Demon or Lil Satan, so I may be confusing the two - the Vixen may not have been a twin-boom at all, certainly not necessarily CG.

I found this sold listing on eBay - the plane really doesn't ring a bell but the fox image is right so just about must be it.
I'm pretty sure I never finished it for some reason.
Oh well - just one of those things that bug you 'til you sort it out.
