Academy 1/48 USN SBD-5

[GaryG64]

This will be my first SBD. The instructions are fairly detailed, the decals look nice and crisp, and i do not see any flash or pin marks. With those attributes it should be a stress-free build... I hope.

 

[GaryG64]

Hahaha

 

[Rockin' Rob]

Stress free build??...Bwaa ha ha ha ha haaa

 

[GaryG64]

Started work on the cockpit.

This build will be moving to an SBD Dauntless group build.

If any are interested in joining I'll have more information as soon as I can gather it and relay on this page.

There is one rule... there aren't any rules, just have fun

OK, brothers it looks like this weekend is when we will start our GB.
A thread hasn't been made yet,I'll pass that along once we create it.

If you don't have your dive bomber yet and want to join in the GB you have time. Most of us will be building a Dauntless SBD.
