Very nice work Henk! IMHO looks better than the high gloss paint that comes in the original package.
:applause:
Any chance for a well-used grey one like this?:

Ferry, glad you like it. I am not a seasoned repainter, I only understand the basics of working with layers LOL. For the FLSt 20 paint I used bits and pieces of the paintkit, FB.1/FB.4 repaints from Peter Watkins and images I could find on Airliners.net and Wings Palette profiles. I have no clue how to do that high degree of weathering of the bird in your picture I am afraid...

Cannot get enough of this beauty, but did it really have that much power, it also feels slightly sensitive in Roll, shouldn't be like that it may just be me though lol :wiggle:

Thanks a million for all the effort spent to make this, it was time well spent.

The first Venoms had a very poor roll rate but the Mk4 and the FB4 Venoms had powered ailerons of increased area, this
dramatically increased manoeuvrability.
The power to weight ratio gave the Venom an initial climb rate of around 10,000 ft min which, for its day, was unheard of.
I was never privileged enough to fly in a Venom so I can only set these values to what I think they may have been, but from
what I have read they are as close as I could get.

It's clearly just a lack of knowledge on my behalf Rob, really nice model mate, takes you by supprise a little how much it actually has to give!

It is a wonder, thank you very much. :wavey: :medals:

Nice repaint, good job. :) It looks much better with the camo than the colorful one that came with the aircraft.

OT: Anybody know about a nice soundset for the vampires and venoms?
