Need help in finding a 1/48 Accurate Miniatures SBD-1 or a missing part on mine

The 48 070 is for the SBD-3 and is not the same. I thought of removing the part from the Aires engine but it does not have the hose coming down from the bottom and the square part at the 2 o'clock position. See my post on scratch building the missing part for the kit engine. Much more satisfying.

As memo serves the SBD-1 R-1820-32 and the SBD-3 R-1820-52 looked the same. The later variants got the one of more power that looked a little bit different.. The one of the Aires for the B-17 seems to be more approperiate for the later SBD bombers rather.

Yep... this can get it sorted out.

However they seem to have it... you may give it try..
Here is the main list ... scroll down to the number 9 on the list. At the number 4 there is also the engine but it is for the Hasegawa kit. .QB48052 But you need the QB48070.

and here the cocntact ways. I would phone them firstly to be sure if it is still in their offer. But it seems it is.

Looking at the engine again by Quick Boost 48 070 You're right It is the engine that would fit. I will order it as a back-up but continue working on the one that I started. Thank you

Good luck Mate.

The Quick Boost 48 070 engine set is recommended for the SBD-1 to 3 so it should fit fine.
