As has been mentioned previously, I have an idea for a couple of games based on the 1956 Suez campaign. I confess that the thought of painting (more) invasion stripes in 1/300 didn't thrill me but I was won over when I discovered that rather than being black/white (as per the 1944 originals) the 1956 stripes were in fact black/yellow! So we have a collection of exotic aircraft in silly colours - simply irressitible!
Several squadrons of these Sea Venoms were in service with the Fleet Air Arm at the time. The models are by Heroics & Ros and were nice clean castings.

Great looking birds Tim. I agree with the striking stripping.
I was tempted to buy a Airfix Seahawk the other day for a Suez game.
Dance like a butterfly, be painted like a bee. or something like that.

More stripiness to come!

Close enough Ross.
That's a cool looking plane, I never knew about.
Black and yellow are nature's sign for 'DANGER!!', so maybe they intend to scare their opponents.

You'd probably have to ask the Egyptians about that!
