Looking good, and those joints should be easy enough to fill and blend in.
Andy, you don't really think that, surely ......................... ( awaits relevant "Airplane" movie response !!)
Geo, the good / bad news is, the original Monogram Helldiver kit, with the same mould tools as the 1997 release, but with the company registration mark changed on your example,, actually dates from the early to mid 1960's - I remember building one around 1968/69 and, like Andy's, it had wobbly wings, which I eventually cemented in the folded position.
Airframes, the Monogram Pro Modeler SB2C-4 kit has nothing to do with the old 1960's issue, it was a new tool kit complete with detailed interior, recessed panel lines, complete engine and lots of other improvements. The wings were full pieces without the folding wing gimmick. They are hard to find nowadays and go for some big money if you find one. I have one in the stash, hoping to convert it to the SB2C-1.Looking good, and those joints should be easy enough to fill and blend in.
