Kahunaminor Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hello all, It's been a while since I posted anything. Below are photos (poor quality) of my Hasegawa 1/48 SBD-4. I used the old Eduard (brass unpainted) PE set, Ultracast seats, Master Model .5 calibre and .3 calibre MG barrels, Quickboost life raft, TD wheels. painted with MM enamels, Humbrol gloss coat and sprayed Dullcote. Also used Flory models dark wash. The dive brakes are included in the kit and are a vast improvement on the plastic but are a test of endurance to put together. The RD antenna was scratchbuilt using thin fuse wire. The antenna wire is Ezy line. I finally got my A into G and took some photos. The gunner's canopy experiment didn't work so I left it off after seeing some pictures that showed them without it. Very pleased to say it took a 3rd place at my club's competition on the weekend. The pictures: Many thanks for looking, Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron Thanks Cameron, I try and add "something" a little different to every build to make it just that bit different to all the others. Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cook7997 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 That's a great idea Kent. It really makes it stand out from the crowd. Cameron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
