Edging towards the finish on my AM SBD-1, just the practice bombs and antenna wires to be added. These are fine representations of the SBD but I have to say it tested my dexterity and patience at times with all the fine detail and small parts. Definitely on my list of models that I will love in the display case but not always when on the bench!

I see I have failed to paint the position lights, but here are the finished pictures. That vertical antenna wire gave me fits. I tried to use the USCHI thread but for some reason the CA glue refused to bond. After 8 or 9 tries I gave up and went to EZ Line and it worked OK. That part of Model Building was definitely NOT fun!
