Floggerman Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) This is my Vindicator. I build the kit with mixed emotions. Fit was between good and poor, interior is great but some ridiculous errors. I'd corrected some, but not all. Correction of the wrong canopy was easy (metal instead of glass frame), but I didn't change the position of the gun (correct would be the right wing, not the left). The rest is complete OOB. Original from VS-41, USS "Ranger". I'm quite happy with the result. Next the Avenger? Edited February 2, 2014 by Floggerman 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Very good - like that a lot!. Did your kit have any sink marks in the fabric area of the rear fuselage, just behind the wing? My 2 examples do and not totally sure how best to eliminate them. Nice job - looking forward to seeing the Avenger when it's finished.

Result is not 100% but to be honest, I don't care the underside that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geologos Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I am building a Devastator at the moment, have an Avenger waiting, and this with the Dauntless are the next ones! You have built a very nice naval bird despite the difficulties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
