Yeah, Kingkit have it listed as 'odd scale', along with one by a company called Kader.  I assume the Kader is a re-boxing of the Lincoln kit, I've never heard of them, but it's cheaper anyway.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Lincoln did a single-seater Venom, but I've never seen one, and they were notorious for making 'fit the box' kits, so there's a good chance it was in the ever popular 1/53 scale....  :o

My copy of PAK-20 shows it listed in the Kader listings as a DH-112 and in 1/59 scale, flicking through to the Lincoln listing it shows up as a DH-112 FB.4, again in 1/59 scale.  International Modeling Inc. also boxed the Lincoln kit.

I forgot about that one, I even bought one because it had 1/72 scale on the box but when I got it home and had a look at the plastic, then comparing it to a Vampire I had, realised it wasn't anywhere close to being 1/72 scale.  But having a look in the PAK-20 book it lists it there as being a re-box of the Lincoln one, 1/59 scale, and there's two by Glencoe, one being a FB.1 (both ex-Lincoln) so there must have been some extra plastic I think.  Rareplane did a 1/72 vac of the FB.4 too.

Yes, Kader are Lincoln kits with additional flash........  :o

I'd forgotten the Rareplanes Venom too, and I have one in The Loft!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
