Gerrardandrews Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 superbly executed model, don't see this type very often. Always wondered why it has been so forgotten, as it was one the first jets, Airfix 1/24 kit would be nice and expected, considering its Historical importance, if WW2 had gone onto 46, would have helped win 🏆 the war, and first jet to land on carrier, I know my text is on about the vampire, but very closely related.😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 That's a really well executed model, the assembly and finishing are top class. It is a difficult kit to get right, ask me how I know, and you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Love it - looks top notch. Great to see a Venom - seldom enough. Which colors did you use? Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Now that's just beautiful. Very well modelled and displayed. The Suez stripes certainly lift it just enough to stand out from the crowd. Adding to the previous comments - why hasn't a well known manufacturer picked this subject as one of its new tools as yet? Even the non-mainstream market seem to have dodged this aircraft. To quote a famous movie - "Build it and they will come".. Cheers..

Peter W Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I really like that. Great building, painting and photography. I can't believe how clear that canopy looks either, looks like it really is glass. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That looks really good. A thoroughly clean build. I like the soft but not too soft demarcation between the green and gray in the upper surface camouflage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toniosky Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Very well executed with a good attention to details. Any reason why you used a vacu canopy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbus320 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That's a cracking Venom!! I reckon masking those stripes must have been fun.... Very neat and tidy paintwork! Wouldn't it be nice if Airfix did one of these in 48th? We can dream! Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Simply stunning .In my opinion,the best Venom i've seen.Too bad it's rare,otherwise a very popular build among modellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
