Thanks Ian, i got both the FB1 and FB4 versions, though i do wonder where the fuel tank selector is, i ran out of gas pretty quick due to fuel being drawn from the left tip only

Another superb model from Rob Richardson and there are two Kiwi repaints out for it already. I'm having so much fun flying this! Took off from Mount Cook, roared up and over the mountain then all the way up the West Coast as far as Abel Tasman National Park. Brilliant!

They're by the very talented Peter Watkins so hopefully should hit the spot on all counts. He's already completed 14 repaints for the Venom!

From the notes, they're identified as WE470 and WR341 of 14 Sqn RNZAF based at RAF Tengah, Singapore and were used on "Operation Firedog" in 1956.

Forgot to mention that they're in the library on BritSim.com.

Cheers,

Have a bit off info on Operation Firedog , couple goodies on a strafing run

One comes to mind - "The Day of the Jackal" or perhaps "The Odessa File".
