dogsbody Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Very well done. Did this kit come with the B-P upper turret? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Very well done. Did this kit come with the B-P upper turret?Chris -Yes it does, but I have to say that I have a friend in Revell Germany staff who send me a test shot in which the turret and the single seat cockpit British arrangement was inclued, it is possible that this versions could be available in our favourite dealer shop one of these days........

Vulcanicity Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 It's a great build, I like it! Shame about the dust on the inside of the canopy though, I don't suppose there's much you can do about it now with the model finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbuna Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 That's a crackin example...and I particularly like the way you weathered the bombload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Your build of this bomber and patrol aircraft is spot on with such great weathering. And I especially like your paintwork as it is very detailed and really nice. Welcome to Britmodeller. Congrats to you and Tomy!! Belle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kspriss Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Very very nice. Are those kit decals, as that's one of the aircraft my godfather was the gunner on Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm liking this a lot. A 464 RAAF sqn Ventura, a pretty special subject to me, my Uncle served in 464 as a navigator on their Venturers before loosing his life in one of their early Mosquito ops.He generally flew in Ventura SB-C AJ224. You have captured the subject & the overall war weariness of them superbly. Many thanks. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kspriss Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Ah right. Is it a generic decal sheet or Ventura specific? Steve Edit: disregard this post..found it Edited August 29, 2012 by kspriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Fox Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Superb build. If Revell do release it I can see it being as popular as the US version. Beautiful model. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Jones Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) That's a crackin example...and I particularly like the way you weathered the bombload. Was a bit concerned at the weathering on the bombs, I thought they would be better looked after than that, I always thought bombs were used once and then discarded, but might be wrong. Great build of the Ventura by the way . Edited October 17, 2012 by Andrew Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
