Absolutely love the paint scheme and finish

 

Looks like that bleached blue is done to a tee

 

Photos also superb

One of those where the first couple of photos I wondered if I was looking at the real thing, esp. when I clocked the runway markers in the background!

 

Beautifully executed.

 

 

Edited because somehow I managed to quote myself...

Had to look several times to see if the Life Magazine trademark was on what look to be color period photos. Magnificent bleached and weathered paintwork. It is very hard making a large scale model that doesn't look like a model, if that makes any sense. Museum quality, to be sure! :worthy:

That's incredible, I thought the first photo was a reference picture of the real aircraft and model photos were to follow. That is a masterly paint job.

Outstanding work indeed!

My personal preference is 1/72 scale but - arriving here as a Dauntless fan - I'd have to say they really don't get better than your build.

Awesome!
