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

Nice one paul , to say its an old tooling , re popped dozens of times it looks quite good . Cheers tony

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.

Cool looking kit mate, keen to see how it turns out...

 

[PaulTRose]

Well at the minute im not sure how its going to progress.....thanks to humbrols crappy paint its not looking too good so i might have to strip it and start again.....and im still not convinced the decals are any good......but i have a plan b which involves turning it into a what if

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.
