Douglas SBD Dauntless 1/48 Eduard

This will be great pleasure to build, this plane is definitely impressive, slow but many of them took on daring missions. Kit is detailed but have many flush, not so big problem.

This will be a pleasure to build (other than cleaning the flash...) my friend! There are still two original Accurate Miniatures boxings in storage here for later construction!

It is possible this is the kit. Last half of hour I take a look on high resolution scan of model 5 and there is great amount of interior details which can be upgraded but this is huge job, not possible to do now.

Yes, the plastic in your kit originated with Accurate Miniatures quite a long time ago. I've only built the early model (and converted it into an A-24) SBD-2.

Many small cockpit parts assembled and painted in basic paint. Note that it should have also etched parts there but I avoid use them as well many of them are painted and they will be mounted lated. Work on cockpit demands a lot of time on this kit.
