                        I like, but we have to tie in the Helldiver theme in some way...hmmmmmmm...could the pattern of his skating spell out "Helldiver" or the nomenclature number?

                        Oh I know, it looks amazing (as in interesting, not attractive Wink ) Loving the wingfold detail + PE dive flaps. I'm thinking I've got about 8 years worth of stash right now - roughly equivalent to 6 months worth for fermis.

                        Good pieces of hell!!

                        I ordered the academy one at low price but the vendor not received it again!! 

                        Strange politics of brands, the helldiver was already good represented by the academy one.. but the dauntless is actually out of the 72 scale!!! why not a new dauntless??

                        PS this post turned into a GB?

                        I don't do 1/72, but I just ordered a the Pro-Modeler release of the butt-ugly SB2C-4 Helldiver. So I may have to get in on the GB, timing dependent and all that.

                        I'm with Doogs on 1/72 (save the Peacemaker, wished that was 1/144 or 0!) Got the 1/48 AM SB2C-4 in the stash, has anybody built that, will it work?

                        I think the bottom one shows up better when reduced in size but would rather have the Hellcat in the top one superimposed instead of the one flying away...can you make that change?

                        Then we can vote on the two submissions...

                        Someone should really start an official GB thread though.

                        Hans was a lucky one who got to fly in the last flying Helldiver... 

                        Betcher Azz...  Toast

                        The pilot didn't like it when I lowered the turtleback though... There was a fair amount of tail-buffeting when it was down and the guns out..   But it made for a helluva "Hero-shot", lol... Too bad we couldn't do a dive-bomb run though.. The bird is limited to a max 3-Gs...  Normal pull-out at "Bombs Away" was about 7-8 Gs, so we didn't, couldn't  do one.. 

                        The only CAF aircraft that are allowed to exceed the 3-G max are the "Val" replicas in the Tora Squadron...   I dunno what their max is, but from watching them do their bomb-runs, I'd SWAG it at 5 Gs..
