    DH Sea Venom.....1/72......IOM

    Next in the series of nadgery old kits lol

    DH112 Sea Venom in 1/72 by a russian company calked IOM

    It was originally a Frog kit back in the early 70s and has been repopped by countless russian companies since

    The decals look a bit iffy so that will be interesting cos i dont have anything suitable to replace them with......im going to take a little artistic license and miss out the red chequered tip tanks cos i really dont fancy the decals

        Jeez this one is rough lol

        Ive had to shave off some plastic from the sides of the bang seats so the canopy will go on

        Wing roots etc need filler

        Next step is break out the sanding sticks

        Gosh one to try the patience dude.But i guess its good to test our skill and endurance on less desirable kits.
        Carry on that man.

                That's an interesting old kite. I bult the Matchbox one some time back, which has the same marking as this one, possibly even the same squadron.
