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. Oh ok I see and what you mean and honestly I’m not sure that might not happen…. Probably just do most of what I can with the viper parts Martinnfb, John1, GMK and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Makes sense to me. Extending fuselages is no simple task! Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_1185 Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 I’ll be using my kitty hawk little bird crew for the UH-1Y venom project. Starting with the seated pilot. I added a live resin helmet with facemask. finally happy with how the paint came out for the multicam. no where good as some of the others out there (Pete) lol but it will work for me. helmet done and added more wash… blackbetty, Youngtiger1, Martinnfb and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Great project, I am working on something simliar but with a slightly different approach. Regarding the fuselage extension - I would not obliterate this if I were you. The lengthened fuselage is one of the main features of the Venom and it's actually pretty simple - much easier than fitting the Viper parts to the UH-1N. Just cut the fuselage behind the cockpit doors, insert a 530mm/35 = 15,1mm plastic stripe and reassemble it. Think about it - I'm sure you would regret it afterwards if you choose not to lengthen the fuselage. I'll be following your progress with huge interest! matt_1185, MDuv and Alain Gadbois 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m still at a dead end on the lower engine parts from the viper to make fit as the venom has a different design on the intake Inlets MDuv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
