At a loss as to what this aircraft is. If you get board some Russian aircraft-(much needed) would be nice too. Have always enjoyed your wonderful work. You're one of the best of the best ! no kidding.......

Just want to thank Milton Shupefor lending me this model to convert to CFS3. Will make a Ventura (thanks to Steve for Hudson related parts
) too for the ETO/PTO folks. The PV1 was used as a nightfigher in the PTO.
This is great news! Thanks to Milton for sharing and big thanks to Ted for taking this on.
I absolutely loved Milton's Beech 18 that was made available to us, I believe, by Clive.

COOL!! Many Thanks..
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the last of the RAF light/medium daylight bombers, no?
What a neat warplane-(looked it up in my Jane's warplanes of WWII book)!! Thanks for all the work involved.
