Hello Yves,
Welcome on Imodeler
Good to see my best mate from Model club Eeklo (Belgium) on this forum.
The Sea Venom is very well represented in this 1/32 example.Job well done. Regards, Dirk
Very nice! I love these early jets as well - it seemed they were all unique. The latest generation jets all seem to be coalescing around common design themes, mostly due to technology I presume.
Wow Yves,from what I'm told this isn't a great kit so you've made an amazing job, I build quite a bit of FAA stuff myself so I'm always interested to know what paints you're using ,it looks like Humbrol to me.
Cheers N.
There's a neat little trick you can use to get rid of those pesky gaps on canopies attaching to the fuselage - run white glue around the gap. When it dries it's invisible and fills the gap. Nice work otherwise on this old kit.

Good looking Sea Venom Yves, especially like the color scheme.

Colour scheme very nice, and a clean build - not always easy with this aircraft.
