AndersN Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 A week ago I was given a 1/48 J 33 Venom decal sheet. There is no 1/48 J 33 Venom kit. Bummer. In my stash there was a completely useless Classic Airframes Venom FB.4. Thinking. Would an Aeroclub Vampire NF nose fit? Well, yes, it did. Problem is, SQUIRREL!, when I went through the Aeroclub boxes I found the empty Sk 28C Vampire shell. Forgotten about that. Must have a look. And here we are. Sk 28C nose complete with two hacked up white metal ejection seats as nose weight and wings glued. This made me think of all started kit I have. Going through parts of the stash I find this: Monogram P-51D Trumpeter Spiteful F.14 Roden Gladiator Airfix Spitfire XIX also participating, in various stages of awesomness, in this GB arrrrre... Trumpeter Vampire FB.9 or was it a Mk.1, or...Ok, the FB.9ish. Ignorance is bliss. Which is why I find the RC flying field kind of relaxing. He: "Is that a Spitfire?", Me: "No, that's a Mustang" Monogram P-38 (version? who cares, it's only a P-38) Monogram RF-101B Monogram F-105D Monogram A-26B Monogram F-84F Monogram Canadair Sabre Hasegawa Ar 234B-2 Tamiya Do 335B the French post war thing probably more that has yet to be discovered.

Hardcore Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 should be easy to fix. Just build them and prime them. Leave painting for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Useless Venom kit? I thought the CA kits were pretty nice? And you could have probably shelled it out for a bunch of money on eBay, the prices keep me from buying more of them Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersN Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 No, don't get me wrong, it's looks like a nice kit and the fit is actually really great. It's just me being silly as the FB.4 didn't see swedish service scvrobeson and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersN Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Getting there. The lovely Aeroclub Vampire Trainer. Need one more round filler though.. Oh, I found more fun stuff! Will probably trash the resin Planet Models 109Z. Resin (hardener, actually) fumes (wet sanding doesn't help there) makes my lungs go crazy nowadays. First PM with a good argument why you should have it gets it for free, if I can find the rest of the parts? Box, parts and new owner found The very nice Arba Bf 109G-12 aaaalmost there...and the Bf 109F prototype almost ready for paint.

AndersN Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 That center wing would have been nice.Yeah...that kit would have been better off as a conversion. Perhaps something for Ali to make for AlleyCatModels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
