Revell PV-1 completed

All done with this one. Mods include the Vector engines, cowlings, and props and True Details wheels. I replaced the loop antenna with one from my "spares" stash which is more in scale. I also replaced the radio antenna after breaking the kit one (twice!). Exterior paints are Model Master and Colorcoats. Decals are by Zotz with some of the national insignias are from the kit. I hope y'all like the results of my efforts!

That's a really nice build and finish, for such a largish aircraft it does look very aggressive.

Cheers

Great build and color modulation John.

I love these 3-tone-camouflages and you beautifully captured the look.

Colorful eyecatching nose-art!

Brilliant build and it has your style all over it. Added details and corrections blend in perfectly and the finish - what can I say - simply stellar work. Weathering is so realistic and enhances the aircraft - just love the effect.🏆

Keep 'em comin

She's a beaut, John.  Love the way the paint came out...  lots of modulation and great transitions in an ultra smooth finish.

Great work John, specially with the slightly marbled three tone camo. Have you polished the canopy and turret, as it shines so intense on the pics? An interesting plane for sure, which has the nose of a fighter and the frame of a bomber.

Cheers Rob

Thank you Rob. I didn't polish the clear parts. They were nice and clear right off the sprues. 😀
