SBD-3 clear Edition Trumpeter OOB


Recommended Posts

I know, not the cleanest job, but better then nothing. :)

There is this one thing about Dauntless, the rivets. There are not all rounded, not all the same size. It is very apparent on this picture of the tail section. I was originally considering re-punching them with beading tool, but looking at this , I have to reconsider my approach.

Let us not get too excited, there is going to be zinc chromate and brushed steel in place when the time comes, but first I have to fix the damaged panel lines and re-punch all the pesky rivets.

Harvey take it as a way of priming.

Thanx Martin, for helping me opening my purse and buying me a Trumpy SBD-3, yeah the dreadful clear edition, but the price was right :D. Because of that purchase, I searched my picture archives again and found some pics of a SBD-4 from Yanks Air Museum in Chino California.
