  1/48 scale  REVELL Pro Modeller Helldiver SBD2 C 

  Amin Ghazzaoui

  This dive bomber replaced the famous Dauntless during the later stage of the pacific campaign.I decided to paint this model in the VB3 squadron colors and markings from the USS Yorktown during the Japanese island bombing missions.okinawa onwards.

  I used gunze navy blue H54 “non specular sea blue”, intermediate blue and flat white,,no weathering was applied.

  This kit comes along with a PE basic set which includes the dive breaks and I added an Edwards zoom series .the  squadron markings are painted.the decals are out of the box..I had  to apply a lot of putty along the wing root  and fuselage and other than that the build was very good.The wing bombs were from a Tamiya kit.The antenna wiring is stretched sprue.
