Title: Tutorial Intermediate - Lockheed Ventura
Post by: lastvautour on October 12, 2022, 10:58:32 PM
I will attempt to post this Ventura tutorial on SMM as well as Facebook. I am also trial using imbedded text instead of posting text and image separately. This is to facilitate following the build on Facebook.

Lou

Note. Scale will not be mentioned as the builder can choose the size they want. Mine will be 1/72

Brilliant! The organization skills you have for your projects really show here. I like the format you are presenting in and it shows very clearLy the process being used at each step.

Looking forward to following the project.

Leaving the nacelles for a while, we move on to the most important aspect of the build.

Flip the wing block and start on the top of the wing.

Erratum: image 044 contains a spelling error. The text should read "chisel or planer"

Cleaning. I agree that this is a critical portion of the job. Helps find those small bits that usually leave the bench at high velocity. Keeps the peace too.....

Shaping the wing. Thanks for sharing the technique on carving a single piece wing with both dihedral and taper.

Completing the nacelles. Once rough sanded, they will be put aside for a while.

I'll have to go look at the dollar store for some of those chisels.They would be good for occasional use on some tricky areas.

Project looks great so far.

Great to see what can be done with a good sharpe chisel to get a nice airfoil on the wing.

I have put the Ventura on pause pending doing the backlog of documentation.  It will take a several days to insert text working about 4 hours a day.

After having posted 280 separate steps, I consider my Ventura tutorial to be completed. It is hoped, anyone with minimum skills can make a reasonable facsimile of the Lockheed maritime patrol aircraft.

I had neglected to install my long-range tanks. The error has been corrected.
