The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 They were issued in the late 80's and haven't been in production since about 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they any good? Perhaps there's a niche market out there to roll this one out of the Aeroclub production lines once again?? If so - 1 x F.1 plus 1 x FB.4 for me please. Cheers ..

The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Accurate but basic. Typical 1980s limited run. The white metal was beautiful. John may still have the moulds but I'd suspect that they'd be shot now.

I have this one somewhere in the stash as well. How about I move it to the top of the to do list?,m an injected Airfix is bound to follow. :-) Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last RAN Sea Venom in its original paint The most complete RAN Sea Venom remaining Only RAN Sea Venom with the original avionics fit and one of only 2 RAN Sea Venom's in the world that you can walk up to and flash up the hydraulics and electrics. Yep I should be ashamed of myself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as the title of the thread says... Is this true? No "modern" injection kit of a single seater Venom available? The answer is still NO!

Dave Fleming Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The Rareplanes one was nice (iirc Gordon Stevens made the fuselage master from a bit of old bannister rail) but the Venom is now the gaping gap in the post war RAF fighters range. Every other RAF jet fighter has had an injection kit in the last 30 years. As much as I love the Swift, I never thought I'd see a mainstream and limited run kit of that before a Venom. pS and a Vampire Night fighter too...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
