PV-1 Ventura Royal New Zealand Air Force - Revell 1/48.


Recommended Posts

Hallo to all!

I'm glad to present you my last work: a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura in the RNZAF colors. The base kit is the Revell in the 1/48 scale... but I made some modification.

The engine nacelles and propellers were wrong in the kit, so I corrected it with the Vector resin set. I also used the following aftermarkets...

And following... the result after 7 months of work!

That is an insanely good build, I'm building this kit at the moment, I've got a WIP up here too.

If mine turns out at 10% of how good this is I'll be extremely happy.

Legendary work.

Impressive stuff! I don't normally go for weathering but you seem to have got it just right for this build.
