Username: Ralph Haus
First name: Ralph
Category: Advanced
Manufacturer: Academy
Model: USN SB2U-3 (kit 12324
Scale: 1:48
Choice made. Will do this USN entry, BuNo. 2045, James M. Marmande, VMS-241, Midway Island, 4 June 1942.
And the kit:
Spru details are good especially the cockpit area. However, reading some of the posts from older Accurate Miniature builds (seems like Academy picked up the tooling in 2018? but didn't make any improvements!) there are some warts that need addressing, but easy enough to do; ejector pin marks and such. But many cautioned on their fragility.
The cockpit details are shown below, but puzzling, why the details on the obverse sides? But it may be like most modeling, the builder knows its there?
Engine should look impressive as well
