SBD-5 Dauntless 1:48 scale Accurate Miniatures #3412

Looking for advice on this model. Anyone put this thing together? Any fit issues? The good, the bad, the ugly?

 

THanks!

 

I've been known to kiss a fish or two, with a little bit of tongue. Don't judge me.

Your 3 was insanely amazing! Sucked about that part though. THat must have been a bummer. You said in that post that you had large gaps to fill, that doesnt seem fun either.  Was it that bad?

I have the kit in my stash and found a few reviews. You may already have them bookmarked but I'll insert the URL's here anyway.

I must get around to this kit before I become worm meat.

I have not built the SBD nor the other two monoplanes by AM that I have in my stash, but I did build two of the navy biplanes by them.  They were great kits and I look forward to building their more modern planes.
