Popular Post Red Dot Posted December 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 hi all, Here's my latest and most complicated model yet. All the details are scratch-built, except for the seats and wheels (from AMS) and rockets (from Aerobonus). Markings are for 892 squadron during the Suez Crisis, but, after some help here on BM, it was decided that the aircraft was only based on Malta rather than HMS Eagle. Hope you like it Andy 69 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 When you consider what’s provided in the basic kit and the lack of AM available to embellish it, that’s one hell of an outstanding result. An absolute beautiful replica of a great subject type. Cheers and very well modelled.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 What a splendid job on the old Matchbox Sea Venom - just shows the old kit is still a good basis for a nice model in the hands of a skilled modeller like yourself CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Exquisite! Having tried to build that kit back in the 80s, I know it can be a chore. You've really captured it well - the extra details you've added make for a superb replica. Great job! 👍 Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
