Hi all this is my 1/48 Italeri SBD 5 flown by Major Elmer Glidden & M/Sgt James Boile of VMSB-231,
Marshall Island 1944. The overall fit of this kit was quite good and considering this is all "out of the box" the cockpit detail is very good.
Also I liked the option of having the flaps down, also the canopy came in five parts so you could have various canopy settings and
I decided the fully open option. :)

I used Model Master,
Tamiya and Vallejo paints on this SBD and gave it a weathered looked using
pastels and artist oils and Humbrol aluminum for the chipped parts and I also gave it some of my bomb art :)
I've enjoyed making this Dauntless and I'm pleased with my results. :)
Well I hope you enjoyed the pictures and you will see more of my work soon.
Thank you for looking.
Paul Coppin
