For my first team Hawk challenge, I choose the Mercury Landing.
I first made a gravity assist with Venus combined with oberth effect to lower the perihelion at mercury level:

Then I get a very cheap transfert to Mercury, wich cost me 25 m/s

Finally, I achieved orbit and landed on mercury without breaking any solar pannel, I had 0,9%fuel left after landing.

You didn't use the quicksave did you?
Can you send a quicksave of the starting conditions in LEO as you've shown? Here or in DM is fine.

One with your Venus encounter ready would be good.
Did you make 1 or two passes of Venus?
Edit: it reads more like you did a powered slingshot around Venus?
