Best’s SBD-3 Dauntless Midway 1942 – 1:48 Accurate Miniatures
I built this kit at the tail end of 2024, but decided to post it now since I haven’t been very active lately. This build is my representation of the legendary Naval aviator Lt. Richard H. Best's Dauntless, on the U.S.S. Enterprise (CV-6) [...]

1/32 scale Dauntless kit by Trumpeter
Here we have my 8th build of the year, the 1/32 scale SBD3 Dauntless by Trumpeter. Molding is exceptional, body and cowl are clear plastic for some reason, which I find useless. The instructions are typical Trumpeter, filled with mystery [...]

This was my first [...]
