I have a strong feeling you are a P-47 expert but just not aware

The Gun bay covers are a bit annoying. I will use vallejo putty to fill gaps. Painted the cockpit and used decal dashboard. Not very promising but I can live with it;

Yes, shackles not racks. This is what happens when English isnt Mother tongue. 😄 forgive my bad English pls. Thanks for rapid and valued response. This was helpful...

After a long while I kicked off a new project, If I manage, I would like to complete it for contest which will be held in Bursa City in Turkey on 9-10th march. I should be a bit rapid. I have HB's new Hurricane Mk.I So far kit is ok but seems like crazy rivetter guy was back.. Here our guy is.. To be contiuned....

Dear Gents, I am planning to build 1:48th scale Tamiya Razorback with Loon Models's rescue dinghy and smoke markers. But cant be sure on dinghy attachment point to main pylons on wings. I appreaciate any help. Thanks for reading my message! The Flogger Here, a pic of rare blown canopy thunderbolt. You see Dinghy attached with racks to the pylon On 2nd picture, I couldnt see racks, seems like dinghy attached directly to the pylon.. Perhaps my eyes failing me but that is what I see..

Wouww this is great. I dont know what to say. First time in my life I gathered so much info for the plane I intended to build. Seems like I wont need these guys for now 😐

Thanks a lot. You are a life saver.

Well Cant agree anymore! PV-1 looks like a Bonito fish which is my all time fav! Anyway, thank all you guys. Soon, I will share process of my Ventura Gr.V if God's willing.

A long while ago a diamond hearted forumer had sent me decals for my Ventura (@bigbadbadge) Somehow I had forgot the kit in a corner but decided to complete it just before our contest in Istanbul which was on 10th of May. I liked the kit and got 2 more! one from Academy (Revell mould) and another Revell orginial boxing. So I decided to for a 2nd Ventura... Academy comes with some suprises; Nose glass, British type turret. So after a short search I saw this white guy in Aviaeology decal's sheet and intented to build it. Here is the decal sheet, I purchased it but did not arrive yet. (I trust Turkish postal services but I never say never ) here my questions: 1- Do RCAF Venturas use British type bombs or American? 2- Were seatbelts British type or USAAF? 3-This plane heas a submarine kill mark, does it carry depth charges or torpedo? I appreciate if someone enlights me.. Regards zafer

Thanks a lot for enlighting us. I am pretty sure I had tried to hard to get one halifax corrected radiator set previously but could not manage it. Now we have the set but no halifax around 😃

Last year I had faced the same problem. Freightdog is not avaible anymore. AML provides radyatör and propellers ( also decals) for coastal command one if my memory serves me well. İt is a decent kit with some flaws; needs resin wheels cos kit's ones are pretty small. Also quickboost exhaust would be great.

Congrats! But a friendly warning; the kid Will require much more after market stuff than airfix lancaster!😆 You are blessed man!

Looks great. A bit 'too much clean' for me but still feast for eyes! 😊

Well I Just wanted to be sure. 😆 Thank you LSD modeller for enlighting us.

Thanks you for response. I intend to build an US colors one. Time to grab some Sir Eduard's colored USAF seat belts. Cheers The Flogger

Dear Gents, Does Anybody have idea whether bluegray- gray painted RNZAF Venturas had USA made seatbelts or British ones? Regards Flogger

Wouww she turned out well. Congrats!

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
