Looking forward to seeing the SBD in GSB That Xtracolor paint does spray nice. I plan to let the Intermediate Blue dry overnight then hit it with the GSB tomorrow. I've always liked Xtracolor enamels. Too bad they aren't sold here. Maybe I can get one of the guys on the other side of the pond to send me some......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 John I've always felt the same but doesn't look as if Uncle Sam will ever let enamel model paints make a come back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Good work John on another one of my favorites! I remember seeing an account of an incident during the war of one of these planes being jumped by I believe Three Zeros. The SBD shot down one of these planes and if I remember correctly rammed another. Anyway, the SBD managed to survive the encounter. I think the program was the History Channel's Dog fights. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching! That's a kit I'd love to build, by the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the enemy was over confident they could be in for a surprise as those people flying the Zeros found out. I plan to spray the GSB today but it looks like it'll be on hold until the decals show up. I can get a few things done until then like adding the landing gear, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked our Navy color schemes. The tri-color GSB, Intermediate Blue, and White can be very appealing but it depends on what a/c is the subject. The SBD looks good in the tri-color scheme but not as good in overall GSB. On the other hand, the Corsair looks good in either! LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
