That's a great looking build Medic. The Dauntless is one of those aircraft that just looks 'right', and I actually like it with all of the canopy's closed up - you don't see that very often.

Looking nice! I've heard good things about the Accurate Miniatures kit too.

Thanks guys! Portman, the back canopy will come off. I just have it tacked down for painting purposes.

I guessed as much - but it does look good like that.

Love the finish on this! IIRC I built this kit a long time ago. From what I remember it was a no drama build with no fit issues. Look forward to more!

Just painted the light grey on the undersides using AK Real Colors.

Re: 1/48 Revell SBD Dauntless
Top side is done. I may have to go back and fix a few areas.
