A Lockheed "Rounder"

Great work Rachael!
I'm back home now, so I've got a bit of catching up to do : - )
I'm really looking foward to the Ventura B34 and PV1!

Wow, looks very promising! This is definitely one I look forward to!

PV-1 Ventura OH Items

Can you identify these items in the Vega Ventura overhead and their purpose?

The manual does not show them.

Thanks for any help in advance.

#3 = PDI (steal it from the A-26)
#2 = Heading gauge (tied to AP) should be able to find one in the parts bin
#1 = Swiss Army Knife? - well it looks like one but since it's red and appears linked to the overhead glazing it might be a handle for emergency release of the roof panels

Apparently I must take SWMBO out for breakfast, but I'll do some more digging later.

3 is the emergency release for the top roof glazed panels... emergency egress option.

I will give you the real #2 and #3 for this plane, I have them both sitting on the bookshelf, (along with an HSI, Altimeter and an early turn and bank) from a B-24.

Hi Friends,
I'm making a repaint for an U.S.C.G. R50-1 (Model 18) belonged to Coast Guard Air Station Brooklyn, New York, that acquired this plane, Lockheed registration number 2008, on 14 May 1940, and used it as a VIP transport for top executive officers of the Department of the US Treasury.
Here some screens (WIP), but I'm not sure for the U.S.C.G. insigna on the nose, the photos I picked from the Web are very small..... Can someone help me ?

 

[Milton Shupe]

Manuele, I am looking but have not found an answer yet.

Meanwhile, some things to share ...

 

[Milton Shupe]

A few more ...

I've got a start on the TWA one but it's been on the back burner for a while now as I got off into another bunch of Lockheeds. I'll probably get around to it sooner or later, but if someone wants what I've got to finish it (insignia bitmaps (some custom) and references) let me know.

I've seen Classy Chassy up close, very good looking plane.

 

[Bill Kestell]

All good, Milton, all good.

Would someone PLEASE paint a L18 in PAN AM so I can retire mine?

 

[Firekitten]

A little more testing after getting some more detail in and the wings finalised... she's not looking bad for an old bird

Time to head inside and finalize the inside before paint gets thrown about!

 

[Milton Shupe]

Wow! That's great progress Rachael ... looking more completed every time we see her.

Someone brought to my attention an issue with the Lodestar ADI gauge missing the airplane bar. Yes, it is true.

Unzip and then copy the attached adi_bar.bmp and place it in the Lodestar/Panel/ST_Lodestar folder and all will be right again.

While out testing the PV-1 flight model update this morning (Thank you Tom Falley , I noticed the hot air balloon folks out enjoying the New Mexico fresh morning air.

Also wanted to give a "shout out" to Martial "Ferondoe" Feron for his paint scheme; very nice Marty; thank you.

And they are looking up and wondering what the hell that odd coloured aeroplane is .

I'm betting the with the ballons is an early production prototype before the paint is added....
