John, Eduard used to make them pre-painted PE, check on their site and I'm glad to see that you're back!

 

And if you can't find them I think I have a set let me check that.

 

Cheers

Geez that looks good.

Noting like re-cycling an old kit to help detail a rather newer kit.

Keep 'em comin

John....Your SBD is really looking good. The plotters table is cool with that degrees map...find their way back to the Enterprise! I read "Pacific Payback" about the SBD up to Midway...then bought a SBD-3 as well. I'm thinking about building it gear up...with Prop Blur blades and the Master Details pilot and gunner....on their way to get some "payback" for Pearl Harbor! Was a really great airplane...didn't realize how many G's they pulled on the dive down and the pull out after bomb release...with no G suit! Again....super nice job so far!!!

 

Cheers...Ron

Your IP looks great an n ice touch with the Airscale gauges. . Sure wish I wasn't stuck on mine being a Out of the Box contest model and not replacing the steam gauges.

Keep 'em comin

My SBD is just about ready for primer and I don't think there is any way to get at the IP.  I'll be happy just to finish her this summer

WOW! Amazing work on that pit! Nice belt you have in there! :whistle:

 

It's amazing all the details OOB and a few dials from Airscale to the IP really brings it out!
