Trumpeter SBD-2 Midway Survivor, Call her done!

I really hesitated between the big rondels and Midway, since Midway was the SBD big feat, but the appeal of those big rondels won!

 

They left a sanded spot on the vertical so you can see the lemon yellow of her pre-war years.

Yeah, I know. Pensacola is my home town. I grew up seeing the Lady Lex sitting at dock every day.

Found this one I think it's 2106 not sure, but it's around Midway time.

Man dive bombing wasn't an easy task! Hats off to all SBD crews!

Hi John, thanks and help yourself! The Trumpy SBD is a really nice kit and I think that you will have a good time building it! Except for drilling all of the holes on the flaps!

 

Cheers

That is one great looking SBD!  The time and effort you put in really comes out in the final presentation.  I like the history you've shared, too.

 

Fantastic job!
