Anthony in NZ Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Loving the Ventura, but I think I am enjoying the Pawnee more now LOL Always loved the Pawnee and have often thought of converting the Revell Piper Super Cub. Well use lots of the parts from it. Gotta push through the Phantom first, then an easy build for sanity before I think of a silly conversion idea like that. Love your updates, keep it up! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Anthony, the Pawnee is a lovely kit and I am really enjoying it too. Once I have painted on the yellow, yes more yellow!!! I will then be able to add the wings. Interesting a 32nd scale Pawnee using the cub parts, wow, that would be great and does make sense to use that kit for donor parts, that will be a fantastic build. I'm in. I don't blame you wanting a simple build after the gorgeous Phantom build. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Roger Thanks Roger, yes very pleased with them, the stripe decals were slightly resistant to sticking down so I went with diluted klear that sorted them. 4 hours ago, Ed Russell said: There are some unusual looking Venturas in this thread!

AdrianMF Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 That Pawnee looks very sharp! Nice going on the Ventura too. I’ve used Humbrol 93 (sand) as an undercoat for yellow on a Novo Oxford - I think it saved me a coat or two! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hi all Bit more progress, wings on the Pawnee, I had to shorten the struts but a bit to get the right dihedral and then I have scratch build the small v struts and strut framework at their ends fron scrap plastic and brass rod. Undercarriage struts added. After a couple of coats of paint. More white needed. On the Ventura i makes and brushed on two coats oh Humbrol 85 Satin black, it still need another coat which I will do later before tackling the undersides. Quite pleased so far Thanks for looking.

AliGauld Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Just caught up on this. Those engines are indeed a work of art and your painting of all that yellow just wonderful. Tug stripes looking good as well. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
