Hey folks! This is my recently finished Venom which I wanted to share with you. When I was looking for references on this subject I found out how few ones can be seen finished on the internet so I wanted to show mine in case someone out there needs a few ideas. This model was built based on pictures and videos I found in its assault configuration. There is lot of place for improvement on this kit, I know I could have added more detail which I'm considering still.

It was built mostly out of the box as it already comes with PE parts and good stuff. I added Live-Resin ammo boxes and M134 to one of the sides, and replaced the M3's cannon with metal tube for the other side. It was a great add.

It was painted with Model Master enamels, Ammo washes, active carbon and Chinese ink for weathering. The interior was weathered with grey pastel chalk powder. Provided decals are excellent, hope you like it.

Cheers!
