SBD-3 vs. SBD-4, Visual Differences ...
OK, I've got the Squadron SBD Walk Around book coming in the mail, and haven't searched the entire web for references yet, but am getting ready to make a kit buy in the next day or so, and really need to know ...
Aside from the electrical system, what are the main differences between the SBD-4 and the SBD-3? I am especially interested in visual differences. What I am wondering is, can I build the AM SBD-4 kit, paint and decal it to look like an SBD from a 1942 US Navy squadron, call it an SBD-3, and get away with it? Aside from the Hasegawa and Revell kits, there seems to be no 1:48 SBD-3 kits out there (and I'd really like to build one from the AM kit, if I can).
Thanks!
