Dood, just saw this today and started following, it's far superior to what I can do. Don't take it personally, I have posted on sites and had no comments. it does not mean no one is interested.

I just had to look up my password so I could log in to say that is absolutely fantastic! I also thought the pics were of the aircraft you were using as a reference!
I am currently building the Dauntless SBD 2 from Trumpeter and they are fine kits.
Your paint job is a triumph.
Cheers

Oh crikey, I am 3/4 through one of these, you have just moved my goalposts!
Spectacular, the paint chipping is excelllent and I love the dented/damaged wheel spat
Looking really good so far. I am really excited about this build.
This is just about my wishkit of the decade! So I will be getting it once negotiations re stash size have been finished with the missus!
She has a point, buy another kit when you have built one :-)

jcfay is right in my humble opinion. I have the etch mate and a small hold and fold but 99% of the time I use the tamiya photo etch pliers.
Mind you photo etch tends to drive me nuts, my wife and daughter tend to go out if I'm planning on doing any :-)
The screams apparently upset them :-)
