So another build, this time it's the Revell (USA) Lockheed Ventura Mk.II (RAF).

 

The Box-Art, Sprues, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The build.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The basic structure went together extremely well indeed.

 

After a month or so sitting in the box, it was brought back out to try and finish it.

 

First up, I cleaned up all the seams and then applied all the glazing masks to the fuselage.

 

 

I built up the engines and fairings (plus a few other bits) and test fitted everything together.

 

 

I then sprayed all the glazing (where it isn't masked) interior green.

 

 

While the fuselage was drying, I built & part painted the dorsal turret and test fitted to the fuselage.

 

 

The turret was then masked up with the supplied masks and painted interior green.

 

 

 

Now this is where things get interesting - with the fuselage in a coat of Black Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 (thinned 50-50 with Rapid thinners for Airbrushing). I wonder if there where any alternative decal & camo schemes. I found one..

 

 

So with the decals purchased, I sprayed up the fuselage Nato Black, in preparation for masking.

 

 

That's all for now..
