| Pictures of progress on my 1/32 SBD
Here are some pictures of the progress I have made on my Hobby Master SBD-3. Among other things, I have added some shading to the panel lines, a bit of an exhaust stain, painted the fillet blue at the rear of the wing root and other detail painting. I have also added a more prototypical landing light to replace the silver disc on the underside of the wing. I replaced the antenna mast with a new one made of brass, then added the antenna aerial out of soldered .004 music wire along with the ceramic insulators, made of drops of white glue. I still need to install lap belts and the cable hoist in the cockpit, as well as some detail on the engine. I need to remount the pitot tube and the under-fuselage antenna. After this, I am going to call it quits. Regardless, I am pretty happy with how it is turning out. |
