SBD Dauntless 1/700 scale

This Christmas I'm making the carrier CV-6 Enterprise at 1/700 scale.

A carrier means planes, of course. So I scratchbuild this SBD Dauntless as a prototype to know how many planes I would include in my ship.

The fuselage was made with a sanded stem of grass, so not fully paper model. I suppose that you can make it with a roll of paper if you want.

And, I would had printed the plane in color, but I prefeared to paint it. Again, your choice

Those look pretty good! Never thought about grass for the fuselage, but would be ideal shape.
