  Aeroclub's 1/48 de Havilland Sea Venom
De Havilland's Sea Venom was a two-seat development of the single seat Venom, which was itself an aerodynamic improvement of the company's first jet fighter, the Vampire, to take advantage of a 50 percent increase in thrust of the jet engine used.
The Sea Venom was the second purpose-designed radar-equipped night and all-weather fighter, the first being the Douglas F3D Skynight.
With its strange configuration: short central fuselage with tail mounted on trailing booms, the Sea Venom was a distinctive sight.

In 1953, one Venom lost a wing in flight, and in a check of other machines 75% were found to have a similar defect to the one which caused the wing to fall off.
Like the original Venom, it was intended to serve as an interim aircraft, this time between the Navy's piston-engined Hornet and the De Havilland Sea Vixen.
November 1956, Sea Venoms took part in the Suez campaign, flying from the carriers Albion and Eagle, one of the squadrons flying the new FAW22.

 Vixen
De Havilland's mighty Sea Vixen was the first British aircraft to be designed as an integrated weapons system, and the Fleet Air Arm's first swept-wing all-weather fighter.
De Havilland's project, given the type number D.H.110, was a variant of a design first submitted in March 1947 in response to RAF nightfighter specification F.44/46.
De Havilland's Vampire and D.H.108 experience had led to the conclusion that wing sweep was essential to achieve the Mach 0-87 required by the RAF nightfighter, so a sweep angle of 40° at the quarter chord would easily cover the Mach 0-82 requirement in N.40/46.

The Sea Vixen had a twin-boom tail, which displays that its ancestors were the de Havilland Sea Vampire and de Havilland Sea Venom, the latter of which the Sea Vixen was intended to replace.

The last four Sea Venoms to operate from HMAS Melbourne were taken from 724 Sqn stocks and, it seems, had ‘M’ added to their existing markings.
In view of these anomalies, I decided to use the squadron colours I preferred, which I reckon to be a variation of 805 Squadron (normally red and white checks), during one of their eleven tours on board HMAS Melbourne.
Aeroclub’s Sea Venom was an enjoyable build, with a few pieces remaining depending on the version used.
