While waiting for the Phantom SIG to kick off. I started on this Kit from Classic Airframes. The DH Sea Venom in 1/48.
I was going to do it as per the box art, as I like the smile Having painted the bottom white, I then saw that there was a decal set for one from Ark Royal during the Suez Crisis... So the bottom got repainted in sky.
I also had to paint the Suez stripes as there are no decal for this on the sheet.
Will the nice people that make masking tape wake up and make tapes that scale out to the most used stripes 12 and 18" please. The black yellow stripes are, on fighters, 12inch which in this scale is 1/4" or 7 mm. As well we know tapes come in 6 or 8 mm!! So like all dedicated modellers I said sod it and painted them 6mm.
Nuff about that!
Paints are Xtracrylix Sky and xD Sea Grey for the top. The stripes in Vallejo model color.
The Kit: Old but obtainable. At a price I could not find someone willing to sell one and send it to Denmark, so I got John to buy it on my behalf. Thanks for that John.
