Well I've settled on this for the build. I have three of them to do so I want to get going with this.
The Curtiss SB2C (Son of Bit*h 2nd Class) was the US Navy's follow on for the Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber. This is Monogram/Revell's second molding in 1/48th scale and came out as the ProModeller form. The original was molded with heavy rivet details and wings that you could fold. It is a far cry from this molding.
I have several aftermarket items for this kit, some I may use some of and other all of, which include Wolfpack wing fold kit (the ProModeller does not incorporate a wing fold option), KCM resin cockpit, Eduard cockpit, and Victory Model's SB2C decal set.
Large 24 page Detail and Scale enhanced instruction book.
Included in the kit is this PE set for the engine and dive brakes
I ended up with a couple of mask kits, If I recall correctly one came with the decals.
I have two sets of cockpit detail from Eduard. I want to see what will work best for the cockpit as this has a very large open area for the cockpit and weapons bay.
I've used the Wolfpack systems before with very good results. I have been particularly pleased that I can use ProWield type glues with it and the plastic. This set comes with PE for the dive breaks also.
