lprkon Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi guys, Can any of the post war British jet fans tell me is it possible to convert the Revell 1/32 Sea Venom to the 2 seater Vampire (T.55) as used by the Irish Air Corps. I guess if possible a whole new cockpit and de-navalising is needed? Were these twin-tail family very similar, my searching makes it seem so? I have a Venom line drawing but cant find a Vampire one to confirm? Any help would be very much appreciated! Cheers, Glen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flankerman Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The Vampire & Venom had totally different wings - amongst many other changes. In planform, the Vampires wings tapered equally front and rear, The Venom wing was thinner and had leading edge sweep but a straight trailing edge. Do a quick Google for images...... A good starting point is here. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
