iainpeden Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 How about another clue as to type of a/c. My first guess is a Harvard, my second is something pre-WW2 from the USN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmaas Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I believe the SB2U-1 has a little problem with the wings. They seem to have the dihedral of the SB2U-3, which was greater than that of the -1 and -2. Additionally, there are minor (or 'it's unbuildable' depending on your mindset) issues with the cartridge ejector slots on the underwing surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocky05d Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Hi ,thanks for the replies ,the faults i were referring to are the sink marks on the fabric covered fuselage ,a bit difficult to keep the detail . The title of the post was a sort of joke ,i lose all reasoning when i see a yellow winged kit ,i have managed to fight off the urge to get the Kittyhawk 1/32 Kingfisher kit .😀😀 Don't know why that is .
