Thanks, Erik (@airbum). I didn't realize how big a challenge this would be, but I get a little closer to the end every day.

Thanks, Eric (eb801). I usually just build one at a time, but this seemed like a good idea. Jury is still out on whether it was a good idea or not. I hope you also have a good holiday.

Progressing nicely, George @gblair
You solved that ejector pin mark nicely.
Take care on your health.

Thanks, John (@johnb) and Spiros (@fiveten). Things are finally starting to move along. Still lots of work to do, but the work is starting to look reasonable. As far as doctors go, I am waiting to get an appointment with a specialist. I should know more after that. Cheers.

Looking good, George @gblair
Quite a risky setup to mount the wings.
The cockpit of the Ventura does look very good this way.

Thanks, John (@johnb) and Spiros (@fiveten). I was amazed at how much bigger the Ventura is, but it looks just like the Hudson. My jigs to hold the plane upright while the wings dry are a little precarious, but they work well. Time to check the wing joints and then fill and sand as needed.

Excellent George (@gblair), It's really cool to see several of these coming together at the same time. One of the benefits of building multiples of the same planes at the same time is this ability to see them as a group, sort of what it might be like in real life. We so often see them in individual photos, so when there are several together, it has a sort of magic.

Looking at the MPM kit, it is a step up from the Airfix kit in regards to detail, regardless of the difficulties in construction. Someday, perhaps, we'll see a modern release of this cool plane.

In the meantime, I would say that you are doing it justice in these builds.
