aerotechi Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Just starting the revell sea venom going to build it as the Australian version. And since you said ask you sea venom questions here I have a couple. 1. Any idea of what colour the wheel hubs are (seen some that look silver, others that look that raf sky colour and instructions say white) 2. Any idea on colour of engine bay? (Instructions say a 33% mix of yellow, grey, green) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Instructions say a 33% mix of yellow, grey, green) Thanks. For an Australian FAW.53 the mainwheel hubs are silver or sky, depends what tyre bay had in the spray gun at the time. Engine bay is the standard British interior green, Humbrol 78 is a perfect match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerotechi Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Thanks @NAVY870 that’s just what I want to hear. I have access to a single seat venom but it’s Swiss built and in that I know some panels etc are white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im fortunate to have a few of my own reference aircraft about but not. Sea venom.

72modeler Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Steve, Could you get somebody to push that Vengeance out to the front? You are a lucky man to be up close and personal to it! BTW, have you finished the instrument panel restoration on the Sea Venom? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was all that gubbins under the rear canopy serviced? Keith None of what's lurking there gets serviced during normal operations. The hydraulic tank is filled via an external fill point. The voltage regulators and MCB's were given a bay service during Maincheck 4 & 5 servicing which was about every 4 years. Access for fault finding and replacement would require the seats to be removed and a trained gibbon to reach the back pins on the starboard side rack. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I suspected the seats would be a problem with day to day access but as you explain regular access was or should not have been necessary . Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) @NAVY870 Steve, The panel looks beautiful- better than it did in service, I'm betting! Just curious- what is the instrument in the upper right corner of the flying panel? it looks like an accelerometer to me, but I'm not up on weenie cooker instrumentation! Sounds like you needed the dreaded monkey fingers for those pins! Mike Edited July 1, 2021 by 72modeler corrected spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Got it! Didn't even think about tailpipe temp gauge! Nope, when it comes to jets, I'm of the opinion that everything past the Century Series is Star Wars technology- I'm old school and proud of it. I have a retired AF fighter pilot friend, and he called jets weenie cookers, and I liked that phrase. He flew everything from the F-86 to the F-16, and was a project officer on the F-117...the stories he has shared! Thanks for the reply, Steve!
