ChesshireCat Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 My original issue kit has the U S Martin turret I have three US style PV1's and a couple PV1's with the BP turret. I know the RCAF flew some with the US made turrets, but was thinking about an RAF or Coastal Command airframe. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One is listed here and the others are listed below this entry. The Venturas in Canada 1 sheet has BP turrets. Edited May 14, 2015 by jimmaas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm more interested in U.S. turret design gary I wish Revell would have boxed the kits wih both noses and both turrets. I need two kits to build what I want. I only want to build one Ventura. I may just try ordering what I need from Revell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure if it was done elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure if it was done elsewhere. well I've been looking, and found one odd ball one. It has the U.S. built turret, and a solid nose with what looks like no side glass. But the bottom of the nose is a little different than the Revell kit. The nose would be fairly easy to reshape. Still I think there are better examples to find. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
