One-Oh-Four Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hi guys n gals, Can anyone of you help me what purpose cylinders C7 in the Trumpeter SBD kits had? https://flic.kr/p/2nD7kg8 It can be found in the SBD-2 in the Museum of Naval Aviation. https://flic.kr/p/2nD12NT The empty brackets are visible in photos of the original manual on both sides of the pilots’ seat backrest. These last three photos are from The Cybermodeler site with details on the SBD. Thanks for your insights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hmmm, per Detail and Scale #48 the SBD-1 and SBD-2 has floatation air bags for use in the event of ditching. Since there are two of the canisters and restraining straps, I wonder if that might be the purpose of the canisters? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-Oh-Four Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Thanks guys! What color would these rebreather canisters be? The current apple-green for oxygen is a postwar regulation, right? Since the oxygen tanks in B-17 were yellow…? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
