BallsBuster Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 A bit more info on the upcoming kits: These are three original boxings. Reportedly, some extra AM stuff will come up later and will be available separately and also packaged in an upgraded boxing. I know for sure that Mel and S&M had nothing to do with this kit except helping with research and considering buying a few hundred to repack and sell in his line. There is a small chance that some of the kits will go on sale at the upcoming SMW... But for sure the plastic will be available for anyone interested, provided a club or a friendly trader sacrifices a sq.foot of display space for the purpose. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viscount806x Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Well it's all very exciting stuff but barring the Hannants 'AGB' listing (which doesn't feature this model- even on 'Future Releases') I have had difficulty in reaching the producers in order to register my interest and possibly place a reserve order for a few, which would be nice. I tried the normal stockist of the AGB stuff but he confirmed that this model wouldn't fit in with their normal lines (mainly military vehicles apparently) and they wouldn't stock it. He said he'd pass my details on to AGB but nothing came back after many weeks now. If the owners and brains behind AccsGB are reading this perhaps they could look at becoming a little more contactable so that we can at least touch base. Just saying, no offence meant.

Dave Fleming Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It might just be the renders, but those Roundels don't look right - the blue area looks too narrow compared to the white and red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget the ‘lower case’ underwing serial letters, which are incorrect too. Perhaps, it’s just a case of lazy artwork and the kits decal sheet will be more accurate. Shame the rather plain Manchester Airport version wasn’t a No.14 Squadron RNZAF example, however I expect to see the likes of Xtradecal see to that. Cheers..

Did the RNZAF operate FB.4s or equivalents? Oldmodels Decals do a set for their FB.1s: https://www.oldmodelsdecals.com/RNZAF-45-57.html As set OMD0244, but the screen shots posted earlier suggest a kit designed to specifically make an FB.4. Other than the obvious tail fin / rudder difference (which could be covered by a new sprue or resin), I don't know what the detail differences are between FB.4 and FB.1, but at the moment I haven't seen any obvious indications we will be getting a kit of the latter.

You might be onto something there, looks like the Kiwi's just operated FB.1's which would explain things. Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Looks like the ones with the Kiwi on the fins were FB.1s looking at the well known mass Coffs start up photo. A few minutes work with knife & sanding sticks? Steve. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Anyone at SMW, if you see a Suez one, remember your old pal Procopius, trapped in the colonies with no skills Her Majesty's Government regards as critical to Britain's future. Happy to pay. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Two on backorder with Hannants. Save 10% which is better than nothing. Are there any better/more intetesting options for the Foreign Use boxing I wonder? Venezuela would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the aftermarket guy's will come up with some cool options. The black/orange striped Swiss ones certainly stand out. But they do have that awful pointy nose. But hey, don't get me wrong, these are great looking little kit's. I can't understand why the Venom hasn't been kitted before. I'm sure it will be very popular.

k5054nz Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I'm so torn because I've wanted a 1/72 Venom for many years, but I need a Pinocchio nose as well as the FB.1 tail!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aviation Megastore says 29.70 euros including VAT. But they don't currently recognise the three different boxings: https://www.aviationmegastore.com/de-havilland-venom-expected-november-2021-agb-models-agb720-aircraft-scale-modelling/product/?action=prodinfo&art=181901 Still competetive with the price of the CMK kit. If that were still readily available. Jonathan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
