1/72 Hasegawa SBD

Post by Fermis »

Got this one finished up late last night/early this morning.
Decent kit...shows some age though. Used True Details pit, Eduard flaps, Quickboost engine, exhausts, and elevator/tail planes. Scratched new (movable) canopy pieces.
Finished with the usual MM enamels, wash, and pastels.

Flaps were a major PITA! Making them wasn't so bad, just tedious. Painting was a bitch though!

On to the Hellcats!

Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Wow...this finish is exquisite, especially for the scale!

I love your SBD and want to dive on a Jap flattop and drop my egg on it...

That PE dive-brake work is mind blowing...and the finish is sublime...one of Fermis' best 72nd efforts in awhile...at least since that Kate...and Cobra...and 190...and Vindicator...and MiG...and Zeros...and...
