SBD-3 dauntless 1/100 scale

First build since last spring is Dick Bests SBD-3 Dauntless in 1/100 scale.
This is Brents repaint of S&Ps version. The recolor has a little weathering and has a slightly faded color scheme from the standard Navy blue over grey used @ battle of Midway. Here are the parts laid out and the fuselage started. The repaint has a sligthly modified front end including the little hump at the forward fuselage. I also used the sectioned canopy instead of the 1 piece in the original kit. The mid and after fuselage has 2 sharp creases used to blend the rear wing roots that are necessary for a more accurate build...

Next up are the wing parts. Separate dive brakes are included in the repaint and really add some cool detail. I installed the wing roots first as the complete wings tend to get in the way sometimes when adding the center line parts such as the bomb and its launching cradle. The bomb included in the kit seemed a little too small so I pilfered the bomb from Kampfliegers vindicator kit...

I modified the tail wheel and made the exhaust stacks seen in the last series of photos. the tail stabilizers were added and the kit is just about finished...

The finished project. There are a few added details, the sighting scope and radio wires and little exhaust stacks. the outer wings slipped over the little spar parts and fit very well. all in all a great little kit to kick off a building season.

This is a real gem, Ted. The step-by-step construction images provide an excellent tutorial for someone (like me) who may want to try building this model.

Wonderful work, thanks for sharing the construction process, I just printed the model on a 1/144 scale and am waiting to spray a layer of sealer.
