LOL Thanks Harv. Joy at still being here, etc!

Thanks Paul for the kind wishes!

Thanks Martin, I'm glad you like it.

Thank you Rob. Those decals are really nice but very thin and delicate. Be very careful when you use them.

Thanks Jeff! I'm pleased you like the results of my efforts.

Thanks Harv! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you Dennis. That is under consideration.

Thanks Ernie! It's good to do something a little different from time to time. By the way, I've done their TBM.

Thank you Kevin, I'm glad you like it.

It will for sure Peter. It's saved plenty of my decals!

Peter I've found that if I find there's going to be a problem like this I'll just brush the remaining decals with Micro Scale Liquid Decal Film. It drys fast and keeps those troublesome little mothers from shattering or cracking. Of course it won't help with whichever one(s) that have cracked or shattered already. 🙄 John

Looking good so far! Those Japanese sure had some good looking ships.

Thanks Dennis. It's one of their better kits for sure. No real problems at all.

Thank you Rod. Not a bad kit at all.

Thank you Phil. I'm waiting for decals for the Trumpeter F4U-4 to show up so I can finish that build. Seems like I'm always waiting for decals. LOL

Thanks Peter. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. A little different from the "usual" LOL.

Done with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/17404-trumpeter-sbd-5-finished/

This is one of Trumpeter's better kits and builds up without a lot of headaches. I painted it with Testor's MM throughout with the Dark Sea Blue lightened just a bit. Decals are from Ventura Decals all the way from New Zealand. I decided to do it as a RNZAF a/c instead of the standard US Navy a/c just for something a little different. I hope y'all like it.

Looks great Peter. Very attractive! Well done. If you need decals let me know as it's likely I have what you need in my decal stash.

I found some at Fine Art of Decals. I'll order them today so hopefully they will be just the ticket. Thanks for checking for me.

I'm going to put this one aside (not on the SOD) and get back to it when I can finally locate some decals. Y'all don't seem to be very interested anyway judging from the very few posts, etc. Later!

I don't seem to be able to find any satisfactory 1/32 Navy decals for this build. You'd think there would be some sheets around but the only one I have been able to find is a Print Scale #32-023 which has two a/c on it. However, they are in Ukraine and there is a note attached there could be shipping delay due to shipping carrier problems. Would any of you have this decal and would you sell it to me? Thanks.

Love that GSB Peter. LOL Now I need to attempt to attach the wings. Could be a high cuss-factor undertaking but we will see. 🙄

More progress! One more coat of GSB later today.

Thank you Peter. I've decided to fold 'em but I still expect it'll be a "experience" getting them to attach properly. Fingers are crossed so we will see. 🙄
