Yes they do but it's how the builder uses them that makes all the difference.

John,

    You're smashing it!  Everything looks great!  Foil?

[DocRob]

Like the others say, great job on the build and modification. Can't wait to see your smooth paint finish on the Ventura.

Cheers Rob

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.

Thank you Rob! Won't be long before I can get started on painting. I look forward to it! That tri-color scheme fits this a/c perfectly.

Thank you Ernie! I agree 100%. The cowlings "make" the model and the tri-color paint job should really finish it off! 😀

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.

[JohnB]

Painting done. Next is a bit of weathering.

Smooth as silk - love the free hand cammo.

Keep 'em comin
