kruzikrucken Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hello everyone this is my latest build, a SB2C-4 Helldiver flying out of NAS Kanehoe Bay approx 1945/46 in the search and rescue role. It's the Revell/Monogram 1:48 kit with Ultracast seats and the Wolfpack wingfold set. A word of caution to the wingfold se: the flaps are molded closed which is only true for a SB2C-5, the dash 4 had the flaps always in the open position. I added quite some scratchbuilding including building the engine cowls closed, demilitarising (no ammo boxes, no guns), using the Yagi from the Accurate Miniatures TBM kit (more detailed thna the kit ones), changing the rear canopy rails, display the flaps open, adding wing struts, etc. Painting was done with Vallejo colours and all markings are airbrushed. Enjoy the pictures! 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzikrucken Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thank you all for your comments! I have a preference for building unarmed 2nd line aircraft, they are much more colourful 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Very nicely done, and your paintwork with that scheme is fantastic! It's nice to see one modeled with the wings folded to show off the innards of the folding mechanism. And I thought all Helldivers were unceremoniously dumped at the end of the war! Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
