That's a nice looking build. I agree, it is a nice looking aircraft.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Do you know which boxing this is?  I think I saw a post a while back showing Revell's new mold.

And it is a sweet build!!  I've been looking at it more lately as they're in all the background photos of the P-40 reference photos I've been thumbing through.  Love the weathering here too....any detail pics? =]

Yeah, that's great.  =]  How'd those decals work out for you?  I try not to pass up an opportunity for "good lookin" nose art.

I saw the title of the threat and went, "What's a Ventura again..?" then opened it and remembered, and what a great job! That looks fantastic.

Are those raised panel lines, or recessed? I haven't gotten good at raised panel lines yet.
