I seriously have no idea what I'm going to do for this GB!Maybe a Hellcat? I've not done an Allied Pacific Theater aircraft yet.
Thanks Paul. With the info you already sent me some time ago, and other stuff I have, I'm probably OK for the Mitchell III, apart from maybe getting some good, clear photos. The Mitchell II is quite well covered photographically, but not the MkIII. I have some pics, and some footage on DVD, but anything is welcome.
I'm partly tempted to convert it to a Mitchell II of the B-25D type, with the top turret in the mid fuselage position, and the waist guns and tail guns similar to the MkIII, but I think it would be quite a tricky conversion.
However, anything you have on the RAF Ventura interior would be welcome, as I only have a few pics.
Thanks Paul. I already had a poorly scanned copy of the book, and Geo sent me the same stuff as well !
My copy is not as clear as either yours or Geo's though.
What I really need is a pic, if one exists, of the mid section of the main cabin, showing the rest bunk which I think was fitted, as in the Hudson, on the port side.
Thanks Paul, but no problem if you can't find anything. I found some interior shots of the Hudson, parts of which were similar to the Ventura, but I'm not certain the bunk/bench seat, which folded up against the cabin wall, was even fitted to the Ventura. Probably was, but ................
Bl**dy marvelous!
Thanks Paul. I'd found a couple of pictures from that site, but for some reason I couldn't access the complete web-site pages. There are some minor details which differ from the RAF version, such as the turret, but overall, it should be more or less the same, or at least very similar, allowing for the removal/loss of fittings over the years.
The radio fit looks like the 'remote' set fitted to later Mosquitos, and Canadian-built Lancasters, so probably the same with RAF aircraft, from what I've seen in the pics from the Ventura book. I'll probably cheat a little, and use the 'British' radio sets, as I have a couple spare, and they won't be seen that easily anyway.
Thanks very much indeed for this - great stuff.
