Bought this kit at HeritageCon XV. The seller wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting myself into. He seemed relieved to know I had built the Ventura PR.XIX a few years ago…
Plastic feels a little 'grainy', hopefully a light sanding will clean that up. The spruce gates are huge, definitely a low-pressure short-run kit. Need a razor saw to cut the parts off. No detail in the wheel wells or cockpit, so going to scratch-build some. Decals are looking sus, planning to get RCN markings for it anyway.
