Looking for pilot and gunner for 1/48 Revell SBD. Have looked in several catalogs but no luck. Kit came with what I need but they are food for the carpet monster. Please and thank you.

I’ve got the SBD kit figures if you want 'em…
This is what’s great about our hobby, Hans, you’re a real mensch!
I always enjoy your work, Hans. If they are the same, do they look like pieces of melted plastic. Let me know the cost and postage. My address is Don Perryman, 5020 N.W. 61 Place. Oklahoma City, OK 73122-7411. Thank you again, Don
They’re the standard Monogram fare from the sixties… For the era, they’re pretty good… The gunner is better than the pilot though…
I’ll mail 'em out Monday…
They rock!
Wow, you can really see the age of the molds in the flash on that sprue! Never fear, though, the figures clean up easily enough.
Hans, I’m with you, the gunner is better, I think because his face is exposed. The pilot is Monogram’s standard 1/48 Pilot of All Nations. He turned up in just about every fighter kit they did, until about the late 60s-early 70s. He’s American, British, German and Japanese.
The gunner was a one-off for the SBD, I think, just like the pilot, turret gunner and running crewman for their TBF. Those were three other nice figures, too.
Regards,
Brad
