Anyone pick up Revell`s PV-1 Ventura yet?

Hans von Hammer

Ok... Broke down and bought it on Ebay, 33.99 w/shipping..

Squeaked in just under my limit of 35.00 for multi-engine, 1/48 scale... Little p/o'd about the shipping, but I guess that's the deal these days, since my LHS can't get it faster..

Revell Germany is supposed to issue this kit as well some time in the immediate future. You should be able to pick it up in Europe before your summer trip here.

Wow, that one looks GREAT!
I just can't wait till i get to the US this summer to pick it up somewhere! (since you can't buy monograms outside of the US of A, dam..bastar..

Come to think of it, are the PBY, kingfisher and the B-29 easy to find in the local hobby shops or toy stores?

Regards Ninetalis.

Here's a link to the first one that I have found built up... look for yourself and decide...

..."better well fly"...you crack me up

And it came in WELL under what Tamiya wanted for that furschenluger Betty kit... STILL ain't buyin' THAT one.. 70.00, they can keep it... This hobby's supposed to be inexpensive...

Like I said, it's under my 35.00 limit for multi-engine model aircraft... BARELY  Granted, the Monogram B-25's a comparable kit and retails for about 18.00, but well..  When the only way to get it is through the internet, ya gotta get off the porch if ya wanna run with the big dogs. lol...

If it woulda cost much more, the sum betcher better well fly..

Hans  I am impressed that you shelled out for this one... but it is kinda a Monagram kit.  Hoping to pick one up as soon as possible.

Snagged one off EBay last night.   $33 with shipping.  No complaints on that price

 

Same here! Got mine from Omnimodels...same price....but a day earlier....  Hammer`s saying some of the 'rivet counters" are bad mouthing it already....just can`t make some people happy..lol.

 

 

Oh no!  You mean it isn't a 100% shrunken down version of the real thing!?  Well Hell into the trash it goes........

I didn't need a kit review to tell me I want one.  And for that price I'm not feeling any buyers remorse.

Same here.. No remorse, no regrets ('cept the shipping, but I can't get away from that these days), and yeah, the RCs were b itchin' 'bout a nose being too narrow and the canopy was sitting too high and din't fit JUST right..

Gawd, some people...

Yes, see above posting

Tomorrow if I am not too hungover I will attempt to hit the shop. My son wants a to get a Gundam kit and since this beast is now out, I don't want to be left out in the cold empty handed... If I get it tomorrow, I will gladly post a look tomorrow evening...

Stik, If you pick that up, please give us an in box parts review.  My youngest son, the "smart" one, ordered one for me as a Christmas present.  And the suspense is killing me.  I would like to see your take on the kit.  You can even gloat a little bit.  Rick

One LHS has it in stock for a bit over $26... oh yeah!

NO...

I will have to go have a look at the LHS...
