A Lockheed "Rounder"

[mrogers]

Oops! I spotted a texture glitch on NZ4701's nose! Here's the corrected texture; please copy and allow to overwrite when prompted
I also spotted the following text in the aircraft CFG; there was a typo mistake, NZ4702 which should be NZ4703, see below, so if you're able to do so, please adjust it...

Ventura has her first dress... and off to the ball!

 

[mrogers]

Lovely, I can't wait.

Ventura looks wonderful!

Another repaint, this one is"Black 24" of VPB139, Attu 1945. In the photo reference of Black 24 it's external fuel tanks were bare metal so I replicated them here. Fairly easy one to repaint. Soon will be uploaded.

I need to upload those Harpoons I did. (got a pile of stuff that needs to be uploaded)

In the library for download. Careful! The paint's still a little tacky....

Vega Ventura PV-1 Solid Nose

Well, I am kind of waiting for some things now so decided to do a solid nose variant representing later models.

Here are some paint schemes for you to consider for the Ventura coming "soon".

EDITED for Clarity. We will have 2-3 paint schemes, none of the ones on this attachment.

Beautiful scheme Willy; gotta have it!

I've had quite a bit of down time lately and painting is a good way to keep my mind off of personal problems. I've got a couple more very near completion.

 

[mrogers]

What a variety! That's awesome
If you need some extra help with the skins let me know!

That looks great Willy

 

[Milton Shupe]

LOL Just to clarify, we are not doing those paint schemes. We will have 2-3 released with the package.

I posted them for you guys for some examples that are out there if you are interested.

 

[mrogers]

Lol Milton you led me down the garden path

I've done another skin, a VPB142 PV-2, Marianas Islands 1945. A bit of a plain scheme but pictures on the net of Pacific PV-2s seems to be few and far between.

That looks great Willy

Yeah I second that

I've got a folder on my desktop that I keep current paint projects in. I'd be just as well to rename it "Virtual Lockheed". Inside are Shooting Stars, T-Birds, Harpoons, Lodestars and now I'm going to have to clean out a corner for Venturas. A guy could have worse problems I suppose. LOL

I started a paint on a Harpoon a few months back that was actually used by a Ventura out of Attu. The real aircraft disappeared on a mission to the Kurile Islands and was found in Russia several years ago. The paint morphed into something else, but I still have the reference pics and with a solid nose Ventura, I can do it right. Bomber 31 may well fly again.
