Trumpeter 1/32 US Navy SBD-5/A-24B "Dauntless"

[tr1ckey66]

Yep, it's great to have you back Vaughan. Looking forward to both the Aeracobra and the Dauntless.


The detail you've picked out on the Dauntless interior looks very cool. I'm going to enjoy seeing both these come together.


Cheers

Small update basically more detail has been added to the office. I.P, rear gunners seat and machine gun frame work. The clear part engine cowlings are attached and sprayed with primer.

Hi Vaughan


Just caught up on this one and it looks like you have done a remarkable job on this kit. I have a 1/48 dauntless but got annoyed after drilling 160 holes then one of the dive breaks broke. So it sits in my to do list if I can find replacement flaps ( plastic )


I'm on board to se what you come up with but I've never done a trumpeter and not in this scale


Watching with baited breath


Regards

Seems to me there is a case of 1/32nditis going around recently, very nice work and a crackin office colour.

Thanks chaps. Small update last night added the rear gunners canvas back rest a nice touch as this is a PE part. Getting closer to closing the fuselage.

seat looks superb

Brilliant work Vaughan. I've always liked your 'style' of build and this example is no different.


Quality stuff

Very nice interior work Vaughan.

[Vaughan]

Thanks Chaps another small update. The fuselage is all buttoned up. Not much to see regarding the office but as they say it's worth doing.

I thought it might be a good idea to touch base on this one two further heart ops have delayed things somewhat the last one being a month ago. Anyway here's a very small update the main landing gear is sprayed and weathered just got to make a choice between the tires. Do I go for the Navy or Army version

[flyjoe180]

Looks good Vaughan. I vote Navy. Hope the ops are going okay for you and you're feeling better.

[Robert1968]

Caught up again on this one Vaughan and wow what you have achieved up to press the is blinking awesome love the detail, colours and will be looking in again to see more.


Hope you are feeling better soon eh and always as we al say take it easy


Kind regards


Robert
