SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber, 1/48 scale

Its clear that you put a lot of time into these models Capt C , they are brilliant

Thanks! All of these are at least 15 years old, or older. The Navy carrier aircraft were the last ones I built. and by then I had become a fanatic about detail, paint, etc. - they are also my favorites, too. My mother's brother was on the USS Princeton that was sunk in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and at one time, I had recreated a carrier deck seen trying to replicate his carrier. The Navy planes - Dauntless, Avenger & Hellcat were aboard his ship and so I spent alot more time on those. Unfortunately, several moves of the family and I lost my deck diorama, along with my others that I had created. All of these models have been in boxes up in my closet for years, and some had gotten pretty dusty, plus they had all been suspended in my 3 boys rooms when they were kids. LOL After I am done photographing everything, looks like they will go back into hiding, again!
