matt_1185 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hello all! This is my first build post. As the title says 1/35 scale venom I’ll be converting my Dragon 1/35 scale UH-1N to a UH-1Y venom I’m sure I’m not the first to think or try this but iv looked with no luck. So I’m gonna give it a shot, with the help of a 1/35 scale AH-1Z viper for the critical parts that the viper shares with the venom! please excuse my bench, multitasking multiple projects haha I’m using the Academy AH-1Y for the parts as it was very affordable.

Out2gtcha Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Didn't KHM make a 1/35th Venom? I could have sworn I saw an indication of one a long time ago......maybe a preview that never came to fruition? I might have been crazy?

GMK Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Matt, Nice work & an inspired kit bash. How are you planning on tackling the fuselage plug/extension behind the pilots seats? Martinnfb, matt_1185 and Starfighter 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMK Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 1 hour ago, matt_1185 said: Forgive me but I’m not sure what you mean? The UH-1Y fuselage has a “plug” that lengthens it when compared to the UH-1N. The plug is located behind the pilots, in front of the doors to the main compartment. You can see the plug in this pic, coloured black. Rockie Yarwood, matt_1185, Starfighter and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
