Here's my latest RNZAF PV-1 Ventura build, finished as NZ4562 at Guadalcanal in early March 1945. Classic Warbirds No. 8 depicts the aircraft in photograph & colour illustration as having fairly fresh NZ Blue Sea Grey over NZ Sky Grey camouflage.
Adf. serials states - NZ4562 6007 PV-1? Bu48771. Assembled at Oahu and BOC with Unit 12, Ohakea on 14 January 1944. To No.1 Squadron, Guadalcanal. With No.2 Squadron, Guadalcanal by late 1944. With No.8 Squadron, Guadalcanal by January 1945. Crashed at Henderson Field on 19 March 1945. The aircraft swung on takeoff and was written off as a result of the damage received.
Revell 1/48 kitset, (self-mixed) AeroMaster paints, Zotz, AM, kit & Ventura decals.
The full build is on www.kiwimodeller.com RNZAF 75th Anniversary GB - including my comparison/summation of the glaring innaccuracy on the model's starboard rear window placement & surrounding panels - with more pics in the Build Gallery of the same forum.
