Here is an idea I thought would enhance the look of this kit.  I just have the holes drilled.  I have to still clean it up a bit but, it looks good to me overall.  I'm glad I bought this tool from Harbor Frieght Tools, a generic Dremmel set for $10.00.  As you can see it works great.

I'm about at that same point in that kit from around a year ago.  Now you are going to make me dig her out and finish.

 

Yes, dig it out of your stash and we can both build the kit together.  I could learn some tips from you.

To BrandonK,

The only thing I'm omitting are the pilots and figures.  Every time I try to replicate a figure, they look like "The Walking Dead"!  LOL!

Other than that, if you're doing a OOB like I am, then you have the choice of the two types of Dauntless decals.

USS Wasp Guadacanal 7, August, 1942 or the Squadron #25 RNAZF Seagrove, New Zealand, July 1943.  I hope this helps.

I have this kit in the stash. Looking forward to seeing you get it done. Or is it done already?

LOL!  You always make me laugh!  No it's not done yet, see below.  I just AB the interior.

To my fellow forum members,

As many of you know, I've just completed a Revell 1:72 SR-71.  I had fun building such a cool looking plane.  My daughters boyfriend Brett, made this same kit many years ago with his now deceased grandfather.  He told me that was his favorite build as well as his favorite aircraft of all time.  Who can argue with that!  

For Christmas, my present to my son will be the the Revell 1:426 USS Arizona as we are originally from Hawaii.  The SR-71 will go to Brett in memorial with his time with his grandfather.  I normally only like to build WWII aircraft but, I've been having fun messing around with ships and armour as well.  Who knows what I'll build for 2016?

This build is just a precursor to my main build which is a Trumpeter 1:32 Late SBD Dauntless (Clear Edition).  Now that Mrs. Toshi gave me the whole den to myself and my models, I can really start building things!  LOL!
