Oh, thank you very much for kind wishes. BM is solely for modelling stuff and we all ought to avoids politics as u know. But I'd like to tell you that things are not as they seem from there. Despite of your Dad's warning, noone touches a Nato member as long as they commit a serious crime. How I know that? I served in Navy and coming from a military family. I'd like to host you someday and offer you kebap and baklava (a few beers after all ofc ) Like I did to my Greek and Serbian modeller fellas. I bet a visit wud ruin your sterotypes Now I should go back my PV-1 and find some eduard colored seatbelts. Wish you best of all for you and beloved ones.. The Flogger

Thanks Ed. Decision is done: Zinc Chromate! I liked your triple build project. Beside C-47, PV-1 become my fav multi engined propeller plane

Ok, in case of my plane is dissmissed due to wheelbay color by jury in coming Istanbul contest, I am gonna blame you. Get ready to face Turkish courts! LOL Joke aside, thank you very much. I appreciate!

Well, I guess I will listen your advice and gonna make it ZC. Thank you for spending your valued time to response me.

It is ok, I appreciate your kind help. Best wishes, Flogger

Thank you Charlie a million times. Seems like wheelbays's interrior was white. Any chance to get info about bomb bay?

Here, Dave Harris's pic. You can see the white landing gear inside pic! https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1276345 I know museum pics are not always correct.

Dear Gents, Thank you all for interest. I found a link from Australia. A Navy Ventura under restoration. Pics are from 2012. I believe they can give some idea. Here, wheelbay seems zinc chromate but wheelbays still question mark. They look metallic. https://www.aussiemodeller.com.au/pages/History/Aircraft/Harvey_Ventura.html

Hello All! At the moment, I am building a 1:48 Revell PV-1 Ventura. She will be one of planes located in Attu. So, will be in 2 tone blue+ white undersurfaces. Revell suggests that wheelbays and bomb bay should be be zinc chromate. But somewhere I had read NAVY never used zincc chromate on wheelbays and bomb bays on 3 tone camos. I will be very happy if someone enlights me. Best wishes, Flogger.

I am working on same kit at the moment. Better watch out the cockpit platform fits in slots in fuselage perfectly. Otherwise it causes some extra work on top /nose.

Thank you gents! You both saved my life!

G'day Gentlemen! I am currently building a 1:48 Tamiya Mosquito. I purchased An Extradecal sheet and intended to build SEAC one (HR399) in Dark earth-dark green clothes. I have 2 issues to be solved. 1- What sort propellers used that bird? Wide or narrow one? ( forgive me for my ignorance I am sure they have proper brand names; rotol, curtiss etc) 2- Has HR399 carried with strips under wings? I will be pleased if some may enlight me. Best wishes from Turkey. The Flogger

Thank you gents, I searched a bit more; seems like there were no diamond pattern wheel on RAF Fortress. I appreciate your kind responses. Wish all you a happy new year! Flggr

Good evening Gents! Currently building an 1:72 Airfix Fortress mk III, 2016 mould nice one. I didnt like kit wheels and purchased Eduard resin set. But later I realised that on internet, they used radial pattern wheels or many pictures were blurry. So, It will be wrong if I use diamond pattern wheels on British fortress Mk.III? Thanks for reading. Flogger

Like a candy!
