Accurate Miniatures SB2U -2 Vindicator
Nice kit very fiddly. Instructions are horrible. Mislabeled part numbers. Missing paint call outs. Vague placement for parts. But I will build another

With all those quality problems you did a good job. Maybe some more pics?

Looks good to me... They only saw combat at Midway with one Marine squadron. They also did serve briefly in the Atlantic on board Ranger and Wasp, but saw no action.

Looks quite nice! Good old bird.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Again a subject that I did not know so much about!
Looking very good!

Johnny, a simple plain colored cloth like a bed sheet works great for a backdrop for photos of finished builds. No distractions. You just want a neutral color that your model will not blend into...
