SBD5 Dauntless Accurate Min 1/48

Hope you guys like it…trying to get back into the hobby. This was just out of box

Looks pretty good to me.[Y]

Nicely done, and welcome back to modeling!

If I have any complaint, it’s that there aren’t enough closeup shots for us [;)]

Best regards,

Brad

How did you find the part fit,build of this model? I have the A/M 1/48 yellow wing SBD-1 waiting in the stash.]

It looks good Spider… welcome back to the hobby.

Yes, some additional photos would be great too!

Thanks Brad…I will get a few more and put them on.

Oh very sharp build, great job on the soft transition line between the white underside and the blue.

Thanks Theuns,

It didn’t go together too bad…not real crazy about the landing gear and the decals were not great, but over all I was pretty happy. I thought the colors turned out well.

Brave choice for a first build back! I built the -3 as my second build back and found parts of it great and parts of it needlessly frustrating. Definitely want to tackle another at some point in the future though!

Keep 'em coming and welcome aboard!

Woodspider, a really nice build. I love these kits. The only thing I noticed about your build was the taillight is not painted just above the arrestor hook. Otherwise another example of fine caretaking work.[Y][Y][Y][B]

For your first build back. You did an excellent job. No complaints here.

Nice!

[Y] Very nice wood, very nice, just love that kit.

[Y] very nice job great pics.

Nice way to come back into the hobby. Looks way better than my first attempt after years and years. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

Thank you very much for the support.

Welcome back to the great hobby of modeling…!! I really like the over all finish and even though it is on the clean side aka no weathering, it stands out!

Thank you for sharing… What’s on tap next?

Flaps up,

Mike
