The finish is quite impressive and with the flaps and canopy closed the overall shape and lines of the aircraft dominate. Best beta tester ever! Thanks Woody! You made this really pop with your rivet work, can’t thank you enough for that! 12 hours ago, turbo said: Just catching up on this Brett.

What I like the most is your paint work, with the right balance of everything. Cheers, Chuck Thanks Chuck! I don’t think you have to worry about competing against me anytime, your work blows me away every time! 6 hours ago, aircommando130 said: That is really an awesome SBD!

Almost done. Bombs are on, antenna's on (tail blade replaced) and navigation lights are all on. Just need to string the antenna wire and add the pitot tube and then off to RFI this goes. Just have to focus.....stop playing Cyberpunk.....first video game I've enjoyed in over a decade! Click the picture to open it at Flickr, then you can really see the rivets pop.
