Default Lockheed PV-1 Ventura...

Good morning All,
I did a search on this plane in RCU and came up empty. I knew nothing of this plane until about 2 hours ago when I came upon an article on the Flight Journal website

http://www.flightjournal.com/fj/articles.asp

It is a medium twin bomber that was based on the Model 18 Lockheed commercial airliner. It was a very fast, land based, US Navy bomber that flew in the Pacific. It apparently was fast enough to use a nav aid to F4U squadrons... I would think someone has built a model of this plane. It is beautiful! I wish I knew how to and also, had the resources to "scratch" this one.
