Vought SB2U-1 Vindicator - 1:72 Special Hobby - "Yellow Wings part 2"


Recommended Posts

Hi

My next model in the series "Yellow wings" - Vought SB2U-1 Vindicator, which released Special Hobby.

I build this model in the same time as BT-1, and today I finished.

The build thread can be found here -> http://www.pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=77766 .

Really the best period of US naval aviation in my book! Great planes sporting great paint schemes!

You've made a beautiful model and should be proud of it! Everything is looking just right.

Just a small query: is the numeral 1 on the wing really supposed to be outside of the chevron? I believe US Navy regulations stipulated that the plane number be displayed between the fuselage and the chevron, as per your BT-1.

Just curious about it. I've got the kit but I am too lazy right now to go and check what the notice says!!!

Great job!

Actually, location number of the wing is difference between BT-1 and SB2U:
This photo says about SB2U, 2-B-1

And this is specification about number of the wings on BT-1:

I stand corrected and somewhat flummoxed... One never stops learning.

Well done again!

Very very nice, gosh but the USN planes of that era are bright though, kinda make you eyeballs bleed bright. :) They do make a very handsome pairing & its good to see the progenitor of the Dauntless in this scheme too.
