The decal sheet provided three right side checkerboards and one left side...had to cut a right side up for the left...
A little touch up paint needed at the bottom, decals didn't quite fit.
Some of the best work in 1/72nd scale I've seen...
Could we get some close ups of the nose-art for research purposes...???

WOW...these are awesome...that last pic of the TBD is incredible, especially since its 72nd scale...I see you chalked the fish with a face!

Passion Wagon is bringing back some repressed memories....The NMF version is the one I did my 1/32 P-51 in...cool to see both versions at once!
I have to agree on the TBD canopy...the "stacking" of the open pieces is so clean and square you'd think this is at least quarter scale...I'm guessing some of those are smash-moulded...very impressive...

Thanks guys!
All, except for the windscreen up front, were smash molded.

I will bump this one, too. There was also a pair of Eduard Antons in 1/72 that knocked me for a loop when I first joined. With this thread, again in 1/72, the moves are just amazing.
