After dressing up Revell’s 1/48 scale PV-1 Ventura with Eduard’s comprehensive Big Ed photo-etched metal set and a resin cockpit and props from True Details, John painted it with Testors Model Master acrylics. Poster putty masks produced slightly soft transitions between the camouflage colors and Bare-Metal Foil masks kept the canopy frames crisp. He applied Bombshell decals to mark the Lockheed twin as a U.S. Navy patrol bomber in the western Pacific in late 1944.
