1:48 Curtis SB2C Helldiver

Post by Cherrylock »

Some years ago Revell has the Helldiver in the programm, a real good kit with PE Airbrakes and some other goods. So I build one, and one more and a third, so what can you do to have different model, looking for not usual color or fold the wings.

Eduard cockpit set is nice and I used it on the italian one, but it is not a must have, the parts from Revell have good detail. The wing folding is from wulfpack, good to update, but expencive.

You did those up quite nicely! Don't see too many of them in NMF
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

it was not easy to find a non navy color, most have the navy blue. It is only flat alu.

Very nice trio of Beasts there CL! You truly are a very talented modeler!

And again, why am I not surprised you couldn't stop at 1?

Thanks fo your comments, you surprise me with so much response, hope I have more models on the shelf you like too.

Good-looking bunch of Helldivers!
