VT48003 DH.112 Sea Venom FAW.21/FAW.53 1/48 - Test (Working) Model

Image
 Our designer was testing how well the new 3D-printed parts fit into the old 1/48 Sea Venom kit (formerly Cl. Airframes). This is a work-in-progress; it wasn’t built for aesthetic purposes.

The model will be released this month, but it won’t be available for purchase at the aforementioned Telford event yet.
