Dave Fleming Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thought this deserved it’s own thread. This arrived today, designed for the Airfix kit. Early tail booms, fixed seats, brass pitot and x2 vac early canopies plus decals. Mine came from Freightdog, who do it either on it’s own or with the Airfix kit. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I have one in the 'to do' pile. Ordered direct as I didn't think anyone in the uk would be stocking them, let alone as a bundle. Top job Freightdog! Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just looking at the kit, you might even be able to squeeze three models from it if you don't want to do one with early tailplanes and canopy - the set has a RAN aircraft with early booms and later canopy, so you could do that and two of the ones with early canopies but later booms.

David Womby Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Dave, I think I know the answer but want to check. The early canopy and fins look like the NF10 but the canopy is actually wider for the side-by-side seating of the trainer and therefore only correct for the T11 and export variants?

David That's my understanding, and the nacelle is a different shape as well. I'm not sure by quite how much it differs (in 1/72 at least it may be very small) but the T11 has a much more pronounced 'bulge' beneath the canopy side. I am going to email them suggesting an NF10 though! (Still to investigate the Frog Sea Venom nacelle option!)

David Womby Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 It's crude but the old Airmodel conversion gets the fuselage pod and radome pretty well for the NF10. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-21 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Just ordered two from Colin @Freightdog he only has a few left so if you want one do not delay. Excellent customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
