Revell 1/48 Ventura Mk. II RAF -Review and Build-

decided to remove the larger main assembly pieces from the sprues, clean them up, and see how well they would mock up with nothing but tape. Everything fits together well. The wings snap into a recess in the sides of the fuselage. They are so secure you could easily finish them separately and attach at the end of the build. Tail surfaces also click firmly into place with ease. I also wanted to get a sense of how well the clear pieces would fit, so I tacked on the nose and windscreen; no issues. With this in mind, I really look forward to a painless build.

I've always thought this was a pretty cool looking airplane. Probably not as popular a subject because of it's dismal record...and it's not all that sexy...but heck is a B-25 really any sexier? It was just a heck of a plane which fuels it's popularity.

I'm looking forward to this too.  I just finished a MK I  Hudson in 1/72 scale ,which is esentially the same plane without the belly gun configuration.  during the build I was wishing it was a 1/48 scale.  These pre-WWII  aircraft are my favorite subjects.  by pre war I mean just prior to the US getting involved or planes built in the late 30's  early 40's

I am looking forward to this.
