What a great looking model Gary

Another neat early jet built Gary. 👍🏻

Smiley face at 6.28 on the video after fitting the compressor disc 😆.

Looks superb Gary another fleet air arm aircraft to add ,look at 6:48 it looks like a face hehe the compressor ,there’s another win boom beauty it was Concorde ,get it boom ,boom,basil brush was a twin boom too 😂 All the best my friend Mark 😂😂

Nicely done

My mate Paul made this one, uses a lighter to glue the melting parts together. Works a treat for a quick build. It looks a wee bit different to your onen

Nice build Gary!

Nice build

'... it's amazing how teeny tiny some of this detail is..' I remember way back in the 70s when the 'cockpit' for 1:72 scale aircraft was an L shape the pilot sat in. If you were lucky the seat would be separate. Internal details have come on immensely since then.

Beautiful job as always :)

Had to laugh @6:27 ..i saw a cheeky face in the plastic as you were struggling to glue parts together 😂

Another fine job, Gary. Well finished. Forgotten fighter? How about Blackburn's ill-fated Firebrand? Now, that is seriously forgotten. Don't even mention it's supposed replacement, the Firecrest. Hard to believe the same company hit the jackpot with the superb Buccaneer.😁

Random thought for the engine bay cover. Two strips of masking tape facing upward with one end stuck inside the bay and the other two ends stuck to the cover. May act as a hinge between the two so you don't need any glue and can hinge the cover back to see the engine.

Hi Gary, fantastic build & looks very good indeed 👍 . Nice livery & decals look like the went down very well. As pointed out the instructions are strange, one reason I purchased original it was the feature of having the canopy open as per box cad images, so surprised it was only closed option. Looking forward to the up & coming group build .

Thanks Mark!

Very nice build, another one on the Xmas list.

Lovely looking kit, so glad you keep in the bits where you have to redo bits in a different order to have them fit better. It shows us that anyone can make a slight mistake, no point worrying about it, just enjoy the kit. Keep up the great work Gary.

Thanks Chris, that's exactly what I'm trying to say here - no point getting upset about stuff like that - there is normally a way round any problem!

Nice one Gary; this looks a lovely kit, and you did it proud! 🙂 👍 I've built a couple of 'Dragon' kits in the dim past, and never really had any problems, looks like under the 'Cyber Hobby' name, they're still quality kits... good to see 🙂

To be honest I was amazed how well the pieces were moulded and the fit of them, especially for 1/72. Very impressed.

Cracking job you did on the build and exquisite finish. ❤

Great Job, beautiful looking finish. Love the folded wings.

I have to say although not an aircraft i have a lot of interest in it does build to a really nice kit . Well done Gary ! Regards Gav.

Thanks marra - it's a little beauty to be fair!

Beautifully made kit. You did an awesome job on it, Gary. Too bad they didn't include any aircrew figures. Cool job on the seatbelts.....in lieu of figures. Sweet paintwork too. Bill

Nice job on this kit Gary. Excellent result ✨👍✨

A superb build of an interesting little kit ,Gary . When you mentioned ,Twin Boom , I initially thought of breaking the sound barrier . A sound that not many younger folks will have heard . Sterling job as always .

Many forget that you get two bangs from a single aircraft, albeit quite close together (depending on altitude and so on).

Great build Gary! Love the weathering. Thanks for sharing! 😎🇨🇦

Gary, I'm glad you made the executive decision to build the Sea Venom this way. I thought directions/instructions were totally wrong.

You have nailed this Gary. A great build❤

Great work gary love the oils turorial bit will give that a whirl on my next build😊

It is a nice looking aircraft and a nice colour combination. I was just thinking that the person(s) who produced the instructions and assembly sequence gave no thought to the painting. Really weird.

Very well done Gary, what a great build looked lovely and the tips on weathering can't wait to have a go on my current project 👍

It looks very nice Gary. Good job!

Very nicely done.

Very nice work Gary, it looks great. I’m very tempted to get one myself now 👍

I use liquid gravity mixed with pva glue for most nose weights in confined spaces

Nice kit to build keep up the good build on channel thanks lee

Thanks for the great video, once again @garys_stuff. I have a question on how you prepared the canopy, did you polish this before installation or coat it at all? It looked very glossy when you installed it. Hoping to replicate your results. Cheers once again.

Thanks David, I didn't polish the canopy - it's how it came in the box! Some canopy masks are better than others for not leaving any reside, but I can normally clean anything off with alcohol. I think one important thing I don't always remember is to make sure the inside is clean before the canopy gets fitted!

Hi Gary, nice build. I enjoyed. I can see why you changed the order of build. If you followed the instructions the gear would be in serious danger of damage. I like the tape belts a nice touch. Did you have a bit of trouble with the editing, you put the top on and then the top was off? Pity the nose counterweight mass is so big that you couldn't have the hatches open in a diorama, or for that matter the raydome open. Having said all that we didn't use'd to have those options. The box art show blue missiles. I suppose the white is right so a drop out with Cyber Hobby. As a comment on the DH design, with the wing fold coming so far over they must have given the mechs a headache with crane access for engine changes down below in the hangar deck. Incidentally, as a cycle enthusiast, I notice that the weights are really golf weights we use to balance our wheels. Good spot for model weights Gary.

Sometimes the editing can go a bit awry when I have to re-shoot something or I think the build order is better one way than the actual way I did something! I think if you were to use a better nose weight - like liquid gravity - you might get away with having room for some radar equipment. Or make some electronics boxes out of metal so they serve a dual purpose perhaps? Anyway, one for a better modeller than me! The weights were sold to me as cycle balance weights, I find them really good to use because they've got a sticky back and they can be used to slot in gaps.

@@garys_stuff Hi. I've thought about it a bit more (nose weight) and the solution might be glaringly obvious. Why didn't I think of it before. In a diorama you'll have a base board (hangar deck floor?) so stick the nose wheel down to the deck! Not like the airfix Caravelle I had, use the passenger loading ramp (under the tail) as a prop! Incidentally those runners on the engine were for air. Again great Vid.

​@@garys_stuffgreat result..would look great on the shelf /in cabinet next to the Airfix Vampire T-55/T-11

A tip if you didn't see my comment on Facebook about naval aircraft. Should you forget - or need extra - nose weight, make the model with the arrestor hook down, and say you always meant to do that :) That way even if the nose wheel is slightly raised it looks like it's landing :) [Edit: I just realised you won't be able to fake it if the wings are folded.]

Another cracking build son 👏 I wonder if Airfix will produce one? Their doing a few new tool aircraft from De Havilland I'm sure this one would be a seller.

I would like to think so, they have done a series of post-war FAA jets in 1/48 and the Sea Venom was an important aircraft.

Nice work Gary. That looks like a lovely kit. I’ve never built anything from Dragon. I might have to give them a try.

Built the old Matchbox 1/32 kit of this jet. A rather odd looking bird, but interesting. 1/72 scale is too small for me but you did a nice job on it.

BTW Gary.. I think the 'stubborn bits of paint' under the canopy masks were actually tiny bits of adhesive from the masks.

I’ve spotted another flaw with the instructions! I’m building this kit now and STILL forgot to drill out those holes in the wing, even though I watched your vid where you pointed it out 😂. BUT I also noticed in each air intake there are 2 airflow disrupters (?). They are shown in the instructions but no reference is made to the part numbers or putting them in 😡

hay Gary, lovely model and well built. one question, what do you do with all the models you've built over the years. I've only just restarted building models after a rest due to illness and have already got two display cabinets full after just 2 years plus dumping a few on the family what do you do with them, and know the misses is moaning that they are taking up too much space. so give us a clue, where do you hide them and how do you keep the boss happy?

I have some fairly big storage boxes, but a lot end up being binned sadly. Just no room for them all. Some I keep if I've particularly enjoyed the build or the subject (still got the Teracruzer and Mace missile!)...
