SBD Revell 1/48

[Flash_Taco]

Hi gentlemen, Its been a while since I stop and say hi. I finally decided to post one of my works here. It is an SBD from good old (and cheap) Revell, in 1:48 scale. In spite the model being marginally engineered it is still possible to produce a decent looking bird. This is my first attempt to resume modeling after a 20 year window. I hope you like it

That is a very fine job on what is otherwise an uninspiring kit. Well Done!

Nicely done indeed. I remember this kit from the mid 1960s, sold as part model, part toy, with all the 'gimmicks' of dropping bomb, retracting gear etc. I remember being impressed then, as no one else made kits like that.

Not bad after a 20 year layoff!

Beautiful work indeed!

It feels really good to read such kind comments from you all, specially since most here are extraordinary good modelers. I believe that following some postings of this forum (specially the step by step section) made it easy for me to go back building with competence. Cheers to you all!

While I don't count myself among the esteemed group of extraordinary good modelers, I must say that if you continue what you did here, you'll be amongst their company in no time, Flash Taco!

Great work on this kit. I see you got some good decals for it. Revell made the terrible choice of including decals depicting an SBD that had the roundels crudely repainted by hand!
