For a long time I have wanted to build a complete series of models that represent great acts of valor, to the winners of the Victoria Cross, little by little I have been gathering the models, but I still lack many and in particular time to build them, the first is This one, Group Captain Leonard Trent's Ventura.
There is little information on that squadron's Venturas, and certainly none on Trent's plane, so I'm going to assume a few fundamental things, that it's a primitive glass-nosed Ventura, and that being a Lend-Lease aircraft, it was painted in the American version of the British colours.
Assembly was relatively easy, but I only have the Russland solid nose model, so I had to modify the nose, if you can get the Academy one, that one already comes with the correct nose. I also had to change the turret of the machine guns, which is a Bolton Paul, not the normal PV1.
The model has already reached the fun painting stage, and here are the photos, already with the white base and the first yellow and red marks.
