mpk Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi guys. I bought a Matchbox sea venom a while ago and have managed to get AMS wheels for it. I've had a look on the web for more AM and have only found a decal sheet. I'm mainly after a cockpit and landing gear and any RAN markings. Anyone know of anything around? Thanks. And here's an old video. TaffyMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the ejection seats used in venoms sold separately? Edited June 26, 2017 by mpk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglekeeper Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Cheers Taff. Are the ejection seats used in venoms sold separately? I modified a set of MB4 seats issued for the Revell hunter, suitably modified to look like the light weight seats installed in the Sea Venom these worked out very well. Most of my cockpit, aft of cockpit and airframe was modified from the kit with allot of scratch building. I haven't finished mine yet but it is ready for paint when I am finished moving my stuff to my new model room.

TaffyMan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Cheers Taff. Are the ejection seats used in venoms sold separately? Hi - Yep the seats from Harold where separate items but I would think are very rare now. could always pm him as he is on here, I sat the twins in mine as its an in-flight - there is a link in my sig if you want to take a look at what I did, If I do another - which I would most probably but a RAF one as it is an airframe my dad used to work on - I would take the route that Eaglekeeper is taking and do a mod scratch build to get them. I am afraid that scratch and adapt seems to be the only route for anything for a Venom. Saying that if you can make the rails you now have some options with AM on the rockets!

mpk Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Oh thanks guys. When I bought it I figured I'd use it as a scratch build rig anyway. I'll grab a couple of Hunter seats and see how I go. Thanks so much. Edited June 28, 2017 by mpk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
