Bravo Delta Models are exceptional museum quality and faithfully reproduced in kiln dried Mahogany. Each is carved, joined and sanded by hand. The deep, rich finish that distinguishes these models from others is created by the application of up to 35 coats of enamel. The artist then hand paints all of the details onto each model. The final product is a beautifully authentic model which is fully built and finished and packed in a strong shipping carton.

Every model has its own desk stand. All the propellers are made of wood and will rotate. Some of the jets have movable swing wings, also made of wood.

Models in stock are listed, many of those that aren't are available within 7 to 10 days. Special order items cost about £275.00 each and take at least 4 months, often 6, to arrive. Enquire to gm@antics.ltd.uk.

A brass finish nameplate is available for each model.

Bravo Delta Sea Venom (SV)

After trials with RAF Venoms the Royal Navy ordered the Sea Venom as a night and all-weather fighter. The first prototype (an NF20, soon redisignated FAW20) flew on 19 April 1951 and the first production aircraft flew on 27 March 1953. The FAW20 was followed by the main production model, the FAW21, which first flew on 22 April 1954. This changed the De Havilland Ghost Mk 103 turbojet of the FAW20 for a Mk 104 and added an AI.21 radar and powered ailerons. During production of the FAW21, ejection seats were added to the design and retro-fitted to all previous aircraft.The final version of the Sea Venom was the FAW22 which had a Ghost Mk 105 turbojet. Some FAW22 were later modified to carry Firestreak AAMs. Sea Venoms served as the Royal Navy's main fleet defence fighter from 1954 and took part in the Suez operation in November 1956, providing air cover for the British Army. By 1960 all front line squadrons had re-equipped with Sea Vixen FAW1 but the Sea Venom continued in a training role until 1970.A total of 50 FAW20, 167 FAW21 and 39 FAW22 were built for the Royal Navy (other sales were to Australia and France)
