Very high standard of finish. Great to see another Aussie airframe.

Thank you Haslam.

That’s a great looking Venom, Allan.
What material did you use for those antenna wires?
Allan J Withers said on January 12, 2021
Thank you John, 0.2 mm I think stainless, from my local model railway shop.

Nicely done Allan, another RAN subject for the display case.

Thank you Ray, my first RAN aero !!

Allan, A very good looking build. I really like the overall paint scheme. I had to take another look when I realized it was 1/72 scale.
Allan J Withers said on January 12, 2021
Thank you Terry, those tip tanks set it off, 1/72 for me !!

Roo and Ram jet!
Such a nice build Allan (@kalamazoo), the details and paintjob you are able to get into 1/72 always amazes me.

Great looking build Allan

Thanks Anthony.

That’s really nice, Allan. Fine job on what looks like a nice kit. I remember building a Frog Sea Venom as a kid and it was pretty crude. The Sea Venom is my favorite member of the Vampire/Venom family. I’d love a decent one in 1/48 to park next to my Airfix Sea Vixen. Thanks for sharing!
Allan J Withers said on January 12, 2021
Thanks John, the kit has some nice internal detail as well !!

Great looking Venom Allan! Nice addition to the DH GB.
The kit looks amazing and you can’t beat that price.
For some reason, the Venom always reminded me of Snoopy from the Peanuts cartoon.

Thanks George, it’s nice to get a bargain, I don’t see the snoopy connection, except maybe in the radome !!
