Starting to dust off my Accurate Miniatures SBD-1. I have nothing on this bird for references and so am reading up what I can from the net. I bought a cockpit detail set from Eduard but it's for the SBD-3 so I have to figure out what applies. If anyone has info on this I would appreciate being enlightened.

The other thing is that I may ask for a bit of leeway because I'm finding the early 1940 yellow-wings scheme attractive. Technically the US would not have been in the war at the time but our GB stipulates WW2. As an alternative, I could do the bland grey scheme these aircraft used when Pearl Harbour happened.
 
PM sent Andy. Not much I'm afraid.

It is a split build, Military aircraft pre 1939 I do believe a Dauntless one hit 37.

Yellow wings are fine with me Andy, the type served in WW2 after all !

I think some East coast squadrons flew them in Atlantic schemes. I'll have a look

 
I'll have a check what I have for Avenger decals Geo. I didn't use the kit scheme when I built mine.
 
Hi Geo fubar57 fubar57 I checked my decal stash and don't see anything for the Avenger I built. I probably used the insignia and stencils so all that might have been left were some white numbers.
 
I was looking at my wind indicator -3. AM USMC Midway, last time that the Vindicator was used in combat. You got one? I can supply.
