Toby's Ventura PV-1. FINISHED

TobyC · Post by **TobyC** » January 11th, 2015, 2:27 am

After my earlier capitulation I've decided to do the Academy/Minicraft Ventura. It looks a lot more forgiving. Pics to follow after I've had a good nap.

After a good sleep I have washed the parts and am ready to go

Although the decals look ok I recall from previous Academy kits that they can be somewhat thick so I've gone for this option just to make sure.

Better luck with this one! I've not heard of that decal maker before and see they have lots of neat stuff so I'll be interested in your opinion of them.

Shame about the other kit, but this one should be a lot easier to complete.

Work started on cockpit and chromate green used for the inside. I have a better feeling about his already

Thats what we like to hear. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with this one.

I've used Print Scale Decals and found I had to use Liquid Decal Film on them to keep them in one piece.

I've never had that problem with them before but thanks for the headsup

Never done one of these so looking forward to seeing how she goes together.

So far it's refreshingly simple and goes together well. Nicely recessed panel lines. I'm positively bubbling over.

whooaaa boy, steady on now.

I prefer recessed lines. They don't disappear too quickly under my heavy sanding.

Anyway back on the Ventura things are progressing slowly.
