B*ll*cks! So the computer went on strike, and you missed it? What a bummer! They are avialable from TAHS and Model Hobbies though, two versions, at around £25 I think. I'm hacked off that the Ventura is 1/72nd bl**dy scale!!

Found a 1/48 Revell Junkers Ju 52/3m (G-4) at TAHS for £19.99, think that it's the 04521 or H4521. So I tossed an email in their direction to see if they still had it and if they did, I'd take the kit of their hands.....
Thanks awfully old boy!

Nice one Keith! And a nice little haul there too Lanc.
The Ventura came from TAHS, who were very apologetic, and are of course more than willing to refund, exchange or whatever. But I decided to keep it, to build as the RAF version some day, whenever. That is, until I checked the parts. I knew I'd need to mould the turret, as the kit has the later, Martin dorsal turret.(there is a RAF version still availble in places) But there's sod all I can do about the nose. The nose section parts are moulded as two clear halves, which is great for the side windows. But this means there's a joint down the centre of the nose cone, not a problem for the type provided in the kit, or a RAF GR MkV, which should be 'solid', but a big problem for the RAF MkI or MkII, which had the glazed nose, like the Hudson!
Too small and difficult to mould and fit a new transparency accurately. Darn shame, as I wanted to do the trio of RAF 2 Group American types in 1/48th scale.
Evan, if the kit is the right one for your needs, you can have it - I owe you one anyway! The parts are still sealed in the poly bags, but if you want some pics and a look at the destruction sheet and decals, PM me and I'll sort it.
