1/48 Accurate Miniatures SB2C-1C Helldiver VB-17 (Finished)

I just typed a post and just as I was gonna press submit it vanished! This hapenned to me the other day too. Has anyone else experienced this?

Let’s do this again.... Excellent looking Helldiver. The paint and weathering are spot on.

Yes.

I used to think it was my hand inadvertantly touching something on the touchpad or whatever, but lately I'm not so sure.

My gosh LD, these are looking so good it's getting ridiculous!  The lower fuselage is just breathtaking. 

 

Thanks Chad

That looks great, I love the detail in the cockpit and the weathering of the exterior.  It might not have been the most well-liked aircraft, but your rendition looks amazing.  You mentioned issues with the Dauntless, I think I may have run into the same problem, no matter how hard I tried, I could not get the cowling to fit onto it, and I wound up setting the kit aside.  I lost the arrestor hook somewhere too lol.  How did you wind up resolving that issue?  I do like the detail of the AM kit, it's a shame about the cowling, if I could figure out how to fix it, I would probably finish the build, albeit with a missing arrestor hook.

 

Thanks.  It's actually one particular boxing from what I could tell.  They have dash 5 parts mixed with dash 3 (the dash 5 had a longer front end).  You'll have to buy another kit to finish yours unfortunately.  I discuss it here:

You did great, Joe.

Chad darned near stole my line. I was going to say the undercarriage looks so good, you might consider displaying this one upside down!

(I don't mean that to take away from the rest of it)

 

Thanks Greg.  No display, it will be on it's way to Maryland soon.

Lovely finish LD. Your robust shading and variation on the wings really pops.  Congrats. 

 

Thanks Hoss

Great work on your Beast! She sure looks like she’s been in the South Pacific for awhile, but ready to have another swing at the Rising Sun.

 

Thanks Stik

The finish on this is fantastic, I am going to shamelessly copy your build when I get around to my AM kit build.

 

Thanks! By all means, that's what it's here for. I look forward to yours.
