dirtball Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hello all. I just got this kit yesterday. Its ok, but needs work ,I imagine. Like it says up top, I`m looking for any AM stuff. Not sure if there is any. I`ve looked and came up empty handed. So I`m asking for your help. Are there at least seats out there to use? How about PE? Thanks in advance.........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham T Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 AFAIK, there is nothing, not even seats. I had hoped that with the re-release of this kit by Revell, that might change but not so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeds Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 These decals are available. I believe Harold (AMS resin) over on ARC is doing a cockpit, other than these I think thats it. http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=BER32008 HTH smeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 What seats does the Sea venom use? If it's MB MkII/III, Aeroclub do some in 1/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heraldcoupe Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The seats are a Mk4A and a Mk4B. I couldn't find any suitable aftermarket in 1/32, but I did find some useful seat references for when I (eventually) get around to mine. Happy to scan them if they're any help, Cheers, Bill.

Mike Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I've got one of these pug nosed puppies in the stash, and quite fancy a replacement cockpit too. Are there any links to be had to Harald's work so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage55 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hey Mike, Here is a link to the AMS website. I don't see any mention of anything for the 1/32 Sea Venom. Harold's work is top notch though. I have the resin cockpit set for the 1/48 Hobby Boss FJ-4 Fury and it is exceptionally well done. He has lots of other goodies but I too would love some AM for the ole MB Sea Venom kit. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) I was told the seats in the venom where Martin Baker Mk.2FVs. Martin Baker Mk.2H is available in 1/32 in resin from Aeroclub: http://www.aeroclub-models.com/p.html?n=0&c=EJ302 (Thanks Pingu) i used thess from Aeroclub, was the best match I could find. Mine is still work in progress (ie I've still not finished it yet, but be warned it is a tricky little build, certainly getting the twin booms lined up. heres my build thread from UAMF if it helps http://gregers.7.forumer.com/viewtopic.php...light=sea+venom Dave Edited November 30, 2008 by zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now collecting references, photos and drawings for it. It will be sometime next year before anything shows up for it though. However, I am working on ejection seats for several other airframes that use similar seats. After they are finished and cast, I am going to use them for modding into seats for the Venom. I'll post anything that gets cloes. Cheers, Harold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance.........Harv Hello - If its any help - we will be releasing an etched set for this kit in 2009, though I cannot give a release date or price yet. Consist will be like our sets in 48th for the Hobbycraft & Classic Airframes Vampire kits but it will not just be a 'blow up' - it will be properly matched and adapted to the Revell/Matchbox kit. We will add details to our web site much nearer to release. Regards, David Parkins, Flightpath, www.djparkins.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtball Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 David, thanks so much for chiming in! Thats Great news. It will go a long way to spruceing it up. Look forwart to seeing it!!

Glenn R Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi All, Here's one I did a few years back:- I scratchbuilt the cockpit and used modified Revell Hunter seats. Probably the worst part of the kit is the intakes, which I rebuilt. Regards, Glenn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have a set to use as a standard with the resin 'pit that want to do for the poor thing. I assume the PE will bolt into the kits plastic pit. It really needs it. I have the MK 4 seat in a line of seats to do in the near future.

DJPFlightpath Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Will you be including options for the NF.3 as well? Bucket seats and different instrument panel layout? Maybe - we'll look at [probably, as far as the instrument panel goes] - but as I say. its only going to be an etched set and is some months off yet. I just thought it would help if I answered the original posters question about availability of etched sets. Have no more details at present.

MAK Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Great news David. I'll keep an eye on your site for news on this set. Regarding the Hawk kits in 1/32 scale, these have been posted at your site for quite some time now. Any updates on these? MAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Mak - Its been 98% finished for over two years - just sitting there. We are a little frightened to put it out actually because we just know that it will come back copied as a cheaper dumbed-down pirated injection kit from 'out east' - probably within a few months of its release. Then we'll be in the humiliating position of having to produce a Detail set for an inferior pirated copy of our own kit!!! We'll take the chance and put it out one day - probably when I reach the point when I can't afford any more King Prawns & Scandanavian modern jazz cds!
