Hi everyone!
This is my second entry to this spectacular GB!
It is the Glencoe 1/59 Venom FB.4, that I intend to build as a Fuerza Aérea Venezolana bird.
Venezuela acquired 22 Venoms in 1955, remaining in service until the early 1970s.

1. As basic as it gets..........
Where are the cockpit parts????
The Glencoe kit, dating back in the '80s, is a totally "basic"kit. In fact, it cannot get more basic.
There's no cockpit, to start from. Not even a floor! So, a lot of scratchbuilding there!
The rest of the parts are of absolute simplicity as well!
instructions are, understandably, a one step affair and are clear:

1. Instructions...
No,they are not for an 1/144, but for an 1/48 Venom...
I cannot comment of final shape accuracy, I just hope it will look like a Venom in the end!
What shine are the decals:
Made by Scalemaster, providing 3 RAF schemes (one with "Suez" style stripes), one Swiss and one Venezuelan, in excellent print quality.
So here it is!
A very basic kit with a good decal sheet! There's a lot of scratchbuilt to be commenced here, but you know me, I love all those not so brillantly acclaimed kits...I only hope I will finish with something presentable...
More to comie soon, hoping that priority on other modeling projects permits!
