alvin5182 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Gents: A third build is in the works. It is the a/m a/c. Got this kit in a trade a "few" years ago. Some parts had been removed by the previous owner (apparently with a large knife) Nicks and slices abound! Found the one fuselage side had been previously been broken and very neatly glued back together. I only discovered this when I was attempting to fit the wings and the glue "let go" on the break! Large "short shots" on the underside wing tips. Decals are hopefully the kit's. Cooper Details Spitfire set used on the interior. Pettipas' books on RCN Seafires and Martins book on RCN a/c and Markings for reference. Parts off the "trees" and cleaned up a bit! Cooper Detail set added along with some framework Paint on the interior done Fuselage buttoned up Airframe completed and sanded Interesting to note that the Ventura instructions are apparently wrong with regard to the underwing markings on this a/c. There is a picture in Pettipas book which clearly shows this a/c has underwing roundels as opposed to the large VG-AAJ markings and a small letter "J" under the nose.
