Love it, what a vicious looking aircraft, a USN Sturmovik

That looks the business! :)

C'mon, spill the beans: what's in it? I can see (I think) a Ventura body, but what's the canopy? Skynight? Skywarrior?

'twas an ol' Airfix Hudson, a Matchbox Skyknight, some car bog and spit.

That's a real marvel, uncle les! Sure looks perfect for interdiction and blowing things up generally.

Blending of parts from different is seamless. Have same kit built OOB decades ago in the room.
WOW - your build sure sleeked it up a lot.

Find it interesting you envisioned that whiff concept coming out of a Hudson kit.
Captured post war into 50s look well. :)
