Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2021 Dang! I take a peek in and suddenly a Ventura grew out of a Corsair. Nice clean build so far, John. Those engine sure add to it all. There’s “smart” AM, and then AM that we do just because. Like endless PE where it isn’t really needed. Those engines a d cowls certainly qualify as very smart AM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Ernie! I agree 100%. The cowlings "make" the model and the tri-color paint job should really finish it off! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing it on your beautiful model. Thanks! This is such a easy kit to build it just doesn't take a lot of time to get it done. The main "time consumer" has been the new nacelles. Right now the underside white and intermediate blue sides are done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
