Sea Venom FAW.21, WW139 /281, No. 891 Sqn, Fleet Air Arm, HMS Ark Royal, 1955

[Lord Riot]

WW139 as aboard Ark Royal in the mid 1950s This Sea Venom was the second one delivered to the Royal Navy (the aircraft now preserved at the FAA Museum being the first) and served until 1961.

 

The old Frog kit had its challenges but was a simple and enjoyable build. Just a few extras I added; the strakes in the intakes and some cockpit detail that you can barely see. I also used a vac-form canopy very kindly donated by @perdu that I cut to display open.

 

I was pleasantly surprised by the decals, I thought they might break up but they were fine.

That has come up really nicely. Like you, I've found older Frog decals to behave pretty well.

A chunky old kit but looks good when put together. Great build.

Excellent build of the old Frog classic!
