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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 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 Quote 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 2 hours ago, Peterpools said: John Medium blue looks so good: smooth and perfectly glossy. Thanks Peter. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
