Hello All,
I've not been on here for quite some time, but have been busy building a 1/48 SBD 5 Dauntless. My question is what do the cockpit component(s) of the Yagi Radar look like - the monitor, receiver or whatever this component is?
I can't find any images of it online nor in the resources I have at home.
This is an incredibly detailed build on my part. I've scratchbuilt many parts of the cockpit and using many after market parts as well. I will post photos soon.
Thanks for your help.
Steven

I don't have an answer, but this forum thread might.
