Spartan PV-1 Ventura repaint

Finally got the test build done. Sorry, props are out for overhaul , but most else is there. Done with optional one-piece stab which is in the kit. Will send to Aaron for his consideration in next couple of days after some minor adjustments.


Original kit is Murph's Models Lockheed PV-1 Ventura. Did I mention I love the way this Ventura kit goes together .


Regards,
John

Beautiful airplane and a beautiful model, John.

This Ventura makes a good companion to your Murph Mosquito recolor of CF-HMS.

A little Googling around indicates that Spartan Air Services flew a LOT of different airplanes.

I also came across a reference to the Ventura Memorial Flight and the project to restore Spartan Ventura CF-FAV (VPNAVY - Ventura Memorial Flight Association Main Summary Page - VP Patrol Squadron), which crashed in 1953 (https://aviation-safety.net/database...?id=19530418-0).

It's good that you are preserving these historic Canadian aircraft in paper, John. Keep 'em flying.

Don

Don

Just remembered that my first Spartan Air Services repaint was actually a Fiddlersgreen Piasecki H-21.


Thanks for your compliments.

John

Spartan fleet

Thanks Gary. I also have the Spartan Lancaster and PBY on the list of Murph repaints if I live long enough. And then there is the Spartan Alan Rose DC-3 that has been clunking around forever.


Regards,
John

I look forward to seeing this paper airline continue to materialize.

The H-21 is a real beauty. I am used to seeing the dear old banana in Army olive drab. I only had one flight in an H-21, in Korea in 1962, but they were still around during my early years in the Army.
