SBD Dauntless,VB-2, 10 Mar 1942, MPC/Airfix 1/72

October 15, 2021 · in Aviation · · 8 · 1.9K

This was crewed by Lt[jg] M.T. Whitter and RM2c F.G. Stanley in the area of New Guinea.
This is the MPC boxing of the molds, it seems by this time the molds were a little worse for ware. The decals are from Starfighter USN Hit and Run set.

    Very nice work on these 1/72 kits.

  5. Another hit with the color scheme, Robert, definitely liked again.

  6. Another great looking bird, Robert!
    Excellent job on that somehow worn mold!

  7. Gotta love the Dauntless. I've always found it interesting the variety of sizes of the stars on Navy aircraft of this time period. You capture that nicely with the big wing stars on this example. Nicely done!

  8. Nice companion for the Devastator! Looks great.
