No, really. Popped it apart.

I just changed the stickers

Steve, I would have thought the interior would be aluminum lacquer in that time period.

Looking at this photo, I might agree to the aluminum lacquer interior



But these TBDs at the same time had interior green and aluminum lacquer

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was green, yellow or silver. The instructions said green so I went with that.

Got some done to the Helldiver this last weekend.
I've gone and lost the prop but it can be the last thing to install so I have time to look for it, otherwise I suppose a prop from a Wildcat or something would work, if I can fine a sacrificial kit. That's what happens when I set a kit aside without properly "winterizing" it.

Lost prop?! That sucks! I do hope that it turns up fast, the rest of the build is looking great!

Very nice! I hate losing parts. Hope you can find it.

Steve, I'm pretty sure I have a prop for you, I have 3 of these kits and one was started by someone else. I'll check tomorrow.

Sounds great John.
After attaching the top wing I noticed the horz stabs weren't level. DANG IT!. Oh well, easy fix, detach, reattach, touch up and back on track.

Yeah... now he's the Lylerial Virus - a condition from losing parts or breaking them.
