[PappyB]

OK Hornchurch you inspired me to do a quick reshoot of this model with my new photo lamp that came today... (I couldn't get all that dust off though! I had the model out on a shelf for a couple years before finally getting it behind glass... )

I was dismayed to see that my version has sticker decals, rather than pad printing... though that shouldn't really surprise me given when I got it (three years ago when FM was doing lots of stickers...). I may put this one up on the bay and try to replace it with a pad-printed one... we shall see. All my SBD models may be rendered obsolete when HM's 1:32 beast comes to town.

There I go, rambling again... on with the pics! Got some more tweaking to do but these are at least better than those old school shots I still have up on my site. Can't beat the history behind this scheme.
















I blew this last one out to highlight the interior cockpit detail....
