Can't wait to get my hands on the kit - convert the prop to 3 blades - need to look at the dive breaks and windows in the back to see how they compare - not worried about UK verses US machine guns and radios. Hand paint the unit insignia, the rest of the markings are easy to find. And we have a FAA machine. Looking on wings palette there are some nice looking schemes in the other nations operating the plane (French, Italian, Greek and Thai) lots of options for building something different.
phantom Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Just placed my order at Hannants. Does anyone know when they will receive the kit and any idea on the shipping costs? MIke
Avenger2614 Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Just added mine to my backorder list at Hannants, and have contacted my source for custom masks/decals to render a Naval Reserve SB2C-5. Not much needed for the conversion, just need to delete the spinner (or replace the prop with a resin P-47 prop), sand the frames off the pilot's sliding section, and delete the Yagi radar. I'm sure there are other little intricacies, but I'm not going to get too in the sticks with it beyond that. I'll add it to my pending lineup of Naval Reserve aircraft in 1/32, which currently sits at a Fisher/Trumpeter AD-6, KittyHawk AT-6, Trumpeter F6F-5, F8F-1, and TBM-3E, Tamiya F4U-1D, and Special Hobby TV-1 (F-80). What a time to be alive in 1/32! npb748r 1

Dave Williams Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 My pre-order is on the way from ArtScale. The invoice breakdown was 77.87€ for the kit, 2.72€ for PayPal, and 12.87€ for shipping. phantom 1

I've got mine on order from Hannants and have just started looking in more detail at the plane, it's operators and colour schemes. I didn't realise the Fleet Air Arm took some Canadian built ones in 1943 for evaluation which were not used in action (due to being unsatisfactory with appalling handling apparently ?). Currently thinking I will build mine as one of those aircraft from 1820 squadron. When the WWII RN is rejecting a carrier plane, you know it's got some serious issues... crobinsonh, ColinR, nmayhew and 2 others 2 3
