SBD-5 Dauntless 1/48 Eduard "Finished"


Ettore

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone

I resume work on the Dauntless after a break dedicated to another GB;
I placed the decals, but I insist on taking pictures with the white background, I promise that the next will be with the blue background.
Now I am presented with a long sequence of assembly of details, touches of color and dirt.

Good Saturday to All

First, thanks to All...............soon you will have the money I promised you.😁

 

after the decals and the washing I sprayed the opaque paint, but I also added the bombs

as you can see under the naca the color is yellowish, this because I wanted to simulate the soil dust pushed by propeller below the ocher color, later in the completion of the kit, I will spray it also in the wings area.

In next picture you can see more traces of aluminum on walkway zone.........I not still finish in this zone !

There has already been a visual anticipation, but now you can see better the rear machine gun and in the last picture the gun sight

Good evening Everyone

Finally we came to the end, I was a little absent from the forum, the reason is that I moved to another house, one of the things that a man hates more in the world.

As you see, I have added important details, such as the propellers, the antennas, the canopy; but I also tried to make it more dirty, imagining a dust ground like those in the Pacific area; soon I will try to make a base set.

Ettore, that's looking very lovely indeed however I should mention that you have managed to attach the wrong u/c gear legs to the opposite wings. Dauntless wheels face outwards not inwards, so hopefully you can rectify this without too much trouble. Don't worry mate - we've all done it before so your not alone. 

 

Cheers, well modelled and I agree about hating house moves.. Dave

Well done on completing her Ettore, she looks amazing and beautifully finished. :thumbsup:

 

Yeah hopefully correcting the main gear won't cause any issues.

 

I glad you could join us as it was a real pleasure to follow your build.
