newpiggypod1 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I have the old Frog/Novo Sea Venom kit, which i belive is derived from the Venom NF3, whould it take much to convert it back to an NF3 other than simple deletion of the arrestor hook, many thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 According to Warpaint No44 the NF3 did not have any ejector seats and I am pretty sure had a different shaped canopy lacking the bulged area that was on the later Sea Venoms to clear the pilots helmets. Do not forget that the tailhook had a fairing that would also need to be removed so that the area around the tailpile was the same as the single seater. I am sure John Adams or someone else will be along to give a fuller description. John used to do an undercarriage set for the Venom which might be useful as it was much better than the kit version.

Duncan B Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Main wheels were a different design too IIRC. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viscount806x Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well, you can use the sprues out of the Frog kit to make aerials so it isn't all bad is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
