  [3.0] DH Venom / DH Sea Vixen
De Havilland implemented the needed improvements, resulting in the first flight of the "Venom FB.4" on 29 December 1953.
The Sea Venom was being obtained as an interim fix, but it was obviously going to be obsolete in a few years, and the Royal Navy had been casting around for a long-term solution, issuing a series of requests from early 1951.
The Sea Vixen was the first British fighter to have all-missile armament, a concept that was popular at the time since there was a general notion that the new guided missiles had made dogfighting obsolete.

It was not until 1955 that the Hornet was removed from combat, nearly a decade after it was first assigned to Number 64 Squadron.

 Classic Airframes 1/48 Hornet
Once the Mosquito was proven in operational concept, de Havilland went to work on the creation of a "single seat Mosquito" which emerged as a mockup in early 1943 as the D.H.103, an airplane that shared little with the Mosquito beyond wooden construction and twin Merlin power.
Despite the addition of several hundred pounds of naval equipment in the three prototype Sea Hornets, they were only a very few knots slower than their land-based counterparts, with all other perfor­mance characteristics so close as to be indistinguishable.
The Hornet F.3 and Sea Hornet F.20 were distinguishable from the original Hornet by the addition of a substantial dorsal fin extension and horizontal stabilizers of increased span which increased directional stability and maneuverability.

The remainder of the work was as per instructions and quite easy then after checking all the joints I was ready to spray, I chose the camouflage scheme and sprayed the nose radome first of all with Revell satin fl which was then masked off.
The extra dark sea grey was done first as this was the easiest area to mask up when dry, I now sprayed the Sky areas.

Finally, we are able to give, by courtesy of the de Havilland Aircraft Co., Ltd., photographs of the full-scale tests on the wing of the Dove.
It will be seen from these photographs that "top hat" stringers are used, and it is de Havilland's experience, based upon a large number of unpublished panel tests, that panels with Reduxed "top hat" stringers will develop shear stresses up to 125 per cent.
de Havillands use a large press and sets of stringers are bonded to fuselage and wing skins in sizes up to about 4 ft. by 12 ft. It must be made clear that all the attachments required are made in one operation.
