My latest modelling offering. The Revell Sea Venom FAW.22 1/32
All I can say is if you are tempted, then DON'T!!!!
It was a horrible kit to build. Not a single part fitted correctly and there is almost a complete tube of filler under the paint. Add to that the decals silvered and tried to lift all the time. Scratch built is the trolley Acc, the engine pipes and wires and drip tray. I bought a couple of resin seats as the one's it came with looked like deck chairs. I have to say I am glad it is finished so I can move on to something better.

You have a lot more patience than I have now Matt...

Finished kit looks good just the same...

Don't think I have built a plastic model since the late 40's and I think they were Airfix or something to that nature...

Made a few from scratch out of Balsa Wood...they took awhile...

Here is some interesting facts on Balsa Wood...

Nice work Matt, I reckon Roger will be interested in this

You have some great talent there Matt!

Great work.

All the kits I've built haven't even been painted.

Wow!  I'm VERY impressed.  I've attempted model building several times over the years and have never had results that nice.  Well done! 8-)

That's a pretty good paint job man... well done!

Very nice looking! Even after what you say, I still want one 


When you are putting those together. When do you paint it? Before putting it all together? Or after? I always want to paint them before puttin them together, But then they end up falling off the guide, and I am left with a box of random parts  :-?

But none the less, you have great talent of building those!
