Sb2c-1

Hi,

Some photo of the SB2C-1 "Mod III" color sample.

Optional retracted turtle back and two choices of bomb bay (open or closed).

The leading edge of each wing has 2 machine guns (peculiar to "Mod III").

Production version will come with 2 figures.

The front canopy is not shown here and additonal side windows will be added in the middle section.

Re: Sb2c-1

Great pics William!
Great to see the pre-pro stuff and the progress being made as they are being developed.
I am looking forward to seeing this in the metal, and thanks again for posting.

Re: Sb2c-1

Are the slats on the leading edge of the wing going to be fixed in the deployed position in the same way some of Hobby Masters SBD’s speed brakes are fixed in the deployed position?

Re: Sb2c-1

That is awesome. Very accurate paint scheme. I hope to see one in 1/48th as well.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.
