Great looking SBD Carlos. You have done right by this old Monogram Classic. Nice work.

Thank you Chris. Not bad for a kit first molded in 1959 :hmm:

For the historical perspective on USS Ranger’s and VS-41’s participation in Operation Torch, read the articles on these links.

After reading these accounts, they became my inspiration for the choice of unit markings.
