1/48 Accurate Miniatures SBD-5 Dauntless


Recommended Posts

Great kit, although it's too bad that none of the excellent cockpit detail is visible. The seat belts I made with tape and solder wire. Montex masks were used for the canopy and they are highly recommended. Paints used were Mission Models and Gunze Aqueous. Kit decals were used on prop and bomb, all other marking are painted. MRP Insignia Blue was used for insignia markings. Walkways were masked off and stippled with Mr Surfacer 1000 for texture detail. Sponge chipping was applied to worn areas. Weathered, faded and streaked using oils. Fishing line was used for the antenna wire, but it was difficult to cut after being glued in place, so it looks like I'm going to drop $20 for EZ-Line.

 

Overall, I'm happy with this one but looking for constructive feedback on how to make the next one better.
