stevej60 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Morning folk's back with number three build as promised keeping the Royal Navy theme but a change of scale,I'm doing a couple of other GB's with 1/72 subject's including Airfix's Vampire T11 which led me to images of the Venom then to the fact a good few retailer's are knocking out this kit at a very reasonable £11:99 so ordered today from King Kit my fave pre -owned dealer.It has accuracy issues but don't we all,History tell's me it served at home in the Med and Atlantic as well as Suez.As it's rude not to order kit's in pair's I also ordered HB's Sea Hawk in the same scale which may make the GB too.

Col. Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yes a little mis-shapen but as you say aren't we all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Morning all,started this one over the weekend,so far I'm very impressed with this my first Cyberhobby kit,fit and detail's good for the scale. paintedthe cockpit and drybrushed the detail's added tape belt's so it look's busy enough for me.a full engine is supplied but not showing it so the upper panel was glued in place,I really like the one piece booms too.Nice touch with the PE wing fences. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Heller SAAB J-21 in my stash which almost made it to the bench for this GB. Looks to be a nice kit so it sounds as if you got a bargain bunch there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi folk's,the first glitch with this build surfaced with the fitting of the nose cone,it was bad! I had to cut off the lip and butt join it added the nose weightand as you can see a fair bit of filler was needed for a smooth base for the primer,still enjoying it so hope to prime over the weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I am Col,this one took a bad turn tonight I was just adding the last few pieces as I plan a mass primer session tomorrow when I noticed the intake's were missing two plates on the inside per side,looking at the sprue's the part's were their but at no point are they mentioned in the instruction's but they are shown in place on the wing assembly section so a bit of creative thinking needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hopefully that doesn't cause you too much hardship or delay Steve. Bit of an unfortunate oversight by the manufacturer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi folk's,after the first primer coat more filler and sanding was required,now about as good as I can get it so final coat before the top colour's are applied. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Very nice Steve, I'm not sure what the accuracy issues are with this kit but it certainly looks like a Sea Venom to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 This looks a lot nicer than the FROG version that I built back when I was a lad (but that's not saying much ). I'm looking forward to seeing the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
