Vintage MIB Academy/Minicraft 1/72 Lockheed PV-1 Ventura Patrol BomberThe Lockheed PV-1 Ventura was the widely used twin engine medium patrol bomber used by the US Navy in World War II. Developed by Lockheed from the model 18 Lodestar commercial passenger airplane production of the Ventura was assigned by Lockheed to the Vega division. The Ventura was unique for powerful twin Pratt and Whitney R-2800 engines, a high wing loading unique wing configuration, high speed and heavy armament. It was a "hot" ship due to the high wing loading and many aircraft and crews were lost as a result of over loading on take-off. Nonetheless it provided the US Navy with a fast, heavily armed and maneuverable land-based patrol bomber used aggressively as a submarine hunter in the Atlantic U-boat war and as a attack and patrol aircraft in the Pacific theater. With power and speed provided by the P&W engines it could out run many contemporary Japanese fighters. Academy's kit features detail fuselage, engine engraving, armament, with a decal sheet that includes cockpit instrument panel markings. The Ventura helped keep the seas clear during WW2, and belongs in any collection of historic warbirds.Please check the photos provided, and let me know if you have any questions.
