1/72 Airfix SBD-5 Dauntless (A-24 Banshee)


Recommended Posts

My latest build is the classic Airfix Dauntless kit, but decided to finish it in the French Version which was known as the Banshee for land based operations.

 

 

It's a pretty old kit with a lot of flaws, but the biggest one is the incorrect decal for the stripes on the tail - I didn't realise that until i'd built the model and done some research on it for the video :(

 

Anyways, let me know what you think :)

It looks very good in OD and the French colors.

And it's amazing what you did with that old Airfix kit.

 

Only the cross of Lorraine should be blue not red but that's a minor issue and the fault of the decal maker nor yours
