Does anyone have any info on the proposed swept wing, conventional tail Venom / Sea Venom that was cancelled in favour of the Sea Vixen?  I have read about it in a couple of post on RN carriers and vaguely recall a line drawing somewhere but have no real info on it.  I imaging it may have been an evolution of the Swallow?

DH.116, I know I have some books with three-views of it (one on the Venom and one on the Sea Vixen).  It somewhat reminds me of a Sea Venom crossed with a Hunter.  I can hunt it down if you're interested.

That would be great.

AGRA used to mention the type and said it would have out performed the Sea Vixen and fitted on the smaller carriers.

Yes!

I wonder if there is a kit anywhere, that or detailed enough drawings to get busy on the 3D printer.

Thankyou

1/100 Phantom wings combined with a Sea Venom cockpit and nose blended with a Hunter T.7 fuselage?

Possible.  Possible.   It would need to be carefully handled though...

I don't know, but the wing looks very similar to an FJ-4 wing ---

No. It is constant scale. You have to work fuselage depth.
