| Question on FM Dauntless and Hellcat Hey guys, I'm a 1/72 scale guy so I have never really looked into the FM collection. But today at my local hobby shop, they had some diecast out on a table as part of an estate sale. I grabbed a Dauntless that is kind of "sea foam green" in color, for lack of a better description. Anyway, it is mint but no box, and I got it for $7.00! Anyone know what piece this is, and are the colors even close to being accurate? They also had a Hellcat with a cats mouth nose art and a night fighter pod on the wing, is this livery correct, it has light blue and dark blue camo for a paint scheme. I really think the mold quality on the Dauntless is great! Thanks. easy8 | |||||||||||||

| Re: Question on FM Dauntless and Hellcat Made a mistake on the Hellcat, it was NOT a FM! So disregard that question... easy8 | |||||||||||||

| Re: Question on FM Dauntless and Hellcat http://themodelhangar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3576 Scroll down on that link and wait for the pics to load (wait longer if you have dial-up like me. lol). Is that the Dauntless you got for $7 bucks? If so... heckova nice find there bud!  I agree the SBD is one of FM's better molds. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Question on FM Dauntless and Hellcat You scored big on that Dauntless for $7 bucks, easy8...it doesn't get any better than that!  Yup, I have the pre-war colour Marine SBD and I love it to death!  | |||||||||||||

| Re: Question on FM Dauntless and Hellcat I found out which one I have...not as cool as the one you mentioned Snoopyace, but a nice piece all the same, and very very cheap! | |||||||||||||

| Re: Question on FM Dauntless and Hellcat One of only 2, 1:48 scale models I own. Also my avator on the forum. From the 2004 Armour catalog: "SBD-5 Dauntless U.S. Marine Corps VB-16 U.S.S. Lexington VB-16 Gilbert Islands Novenber 16, 1943 WWII" I'm not sure I get the "U.S. Marine Corps" and the "VB-16" Did marine units serve on board Navy carriers? Or is this a mistake? | |||||||||||||
