adlersieg Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Here is a resin model of DH Venom FB.4. I tried to build it straight out the box, but spoilt panel lines recessing. So I made new panel recessing and add etched panels and hatches. Model is painted with Arcus authentic paints: 092 Gun Metal - Exhaust and guns095 Aluminium - wheel wells, wing-tip tanks,098 Jet Black - whell tyres359 Yellow and 360 Night- Musketeer bands365 PRU Blue - under surfaces379 Dark Sea Grey and 387 Dark Green- camouflage380 Medium Sea Grey- drop tanks 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Very nice build of one of my favorite jet fighters. How good is the kit to build? Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adlersieg Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I think this kit is good in build when the mould is ok. But there were a lot of air bubbles in my one( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Very tidy! It makes for one mean looking Venom! Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnerdad Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well done for persevering, lovely looking model, and I know it's rather small! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Nice work! I'm building the CMR Sea Venom right now, and I had quite a few bubbles in mine too. I've made several CMR kits (love the detail!) and this is the first time I've seen bubbles. I can't tell from your photos, but did this kit have photoetch fins for the rockets? The Sea Venom does, and also includes a photoetch jig to align them whilst gluing. Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm building CMR's Wapiti, there are some bubbles too, but less than in the venom kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Is there an aircraft that sits lower than the Venom? Thats a gorgeous looking build, well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 What a beast! - Very nice looking indeed. I regret a bit that Suez crisis times are a beyond my colletion.... I have very good experience with York conversion by CMR. However recently I was considering buying CMR Nimrod II. But I already started conversion from A-model Fury.... - rather due to difficulties of buying CMR, high price and (last but not least) fun of converting! Best regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 A most venomous build. Great to see this aircraft at any time, especially as well done as this. Nice work in the wheel well / striped markings area in particular. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Rhodes Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Fantastic build! I have this kit in the stash, but every time I open box I'm terrified by how delicate the panel lines and some of the parts look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
