SPA Modeler

Here's the current state.

Carlos, I have collected most of the AM kits, including the SBD series from the -1 to the -5. Perhaps I will do the -2 soon in Midway colors, I have this idea to do all the Midway types in 1/48, and recently picked up a Special Hobby F2A-3 type Buffalo. I've already done the early B-26 with a torpedo mounted. I guess that series will have to include a B-17E in Hawaiian Air Depot Camouflage, but I'm still looking for good refs for that camouflage pattern. And there will also need to be a Wildcat and a Windicator. And a TBD Devastator...

The SBD-1:

Very nice!!

John, I love the idea of a Midway collection. Don’t forget a PBY as well

Your Yellow Wings SBD looks great so far. Not too much father to the finish line I’d say.

As you might expect, I got that covered , thanks for the reminder!

Oh man, that’s looking really Nice! Looks like you’re almost at the finish line on this one.

That looks stunning John!

Yours is looking great, John.

I don’t believe I’ve ever done an Accurate Miniature model kit before.

Tom, for Christmas 2012 my future stepson and daughter-in-law gave me the Academy reissue of Accurate Miniatures TBM-3. I hadn't build a model in probably 20+ yrs.

They apparently did their research. Awesome kit. I've read only praise for any of the AM kits, and even the Accurate Miniatures reissues. I can't explain why I've yet to build another......yet.
