gengriz Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) A most suitable theme for this Halloween night, with the fog-filled streets around my house filled with ghouls, ghosts, goblins etc etc. This months output from the Gengriz workshops consists of two twin boomers, a spooky Frog Sea Venom of 892 Sqn marking the 60th anniversary of the Suez landings, and a ghostly Heller Vampire from the same era, but farther north with 603 Sqn RAuxAF at Turnhouse/Edinburgh Airport. Both are models I have built before in different guises. The Sea Venom is a Ukrainian re-pop of the old FROG kit, which translates roughly as Flash-fest, with Modelart markings, whilst the Heller Vampire is a very nice little model and carries some old Modeldecal markings - the chance to compare it with my recent FROG Sea Vampire conversion leaves me in no doubt that this one is the better of the two!

exdraken Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Looking lovely! Well done! Only their names are spooky 1
albamac Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 A right Halloween pair if I may say so and well painted. I like the Vampire FB5 but am a bit biased as 603 Sqn was our local R.Aux.AF unit when I were lad in the Edinburgh area and remember the Vampire whistling about well, but they didn't bite ha ha. Many of the old Frog and Heller kits are still worth building and with a bit patience can be built into acceptable models I find. Once again, a love pair of De Havillands finest products. Best wishes. albamac
tonyot Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 They are both beauties and nothing frightening about this pair at all,......love the schemes, Cheers Tony
cngaero Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 A lovely pair of de Havillands. I particularly like the Sea Venom. It's great to see the old Frog based kits brought to life.
Suddensky Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 A spooky Vampire... Must be nearly time to read The Shepherd again...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Quality work there. Hard to believe that the Sea Venom is ye olde Frog kit!
