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.

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.

Thanks Mike.. I read up on those links... 

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?

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

 

THanks!
