Revell new Ventura

To be honest Chuk I haven't given it much thought.I doubt Ill do the octoplane even though it is pretty cool. I am busy right now just sorting out the way I need to paint and assemble at the same tim so I wont stuff it up.
 
So I did as was suggested and used the clear parts cement and window maker from Testors. I can see right now that I require much more practice making windows with this stuff.
I also came to the realization that I have a love / hate relationship with three color navy schemes.

I really don't mind the masking but its the demarcation lines and choosing which to way to go. Soft or hard, feathered or just leave it in the box.

The wings however, came out fairly nice and I found that using German grey from Vallejo is a fair replication of a scale,worn looking deicing boot.

I should have this complete in a couple of days then I can start decaling.
 
I managed to get the wings in place, some of the gig likes done and take care of some of the paint flaws. The props are from an old B-24 kit I had about three years back and that save me cash so I didnt have to buy the resin props. I am ready for decals and weathering next so I think Ill have this done by Tuesday.

Well here she is, the last of my shelf queens that I know of anyway.
I know I have just a bunch of little things to do but I figure thats to be taken care of later.
