Marine SBD-1 1/48 Pushing Forward

Marine SBD-1 1/48 Interior Color

And moving right along. Geez this thing seems to be just falling together in the box and I just take the pictures.

Paint on the interior. I do need some touch up but for the most part it looks ok. I may highlight with Chrome Silver just to bring it out a bit more but here it is.

And wow is the fit good on this thing so far. This is dry fit only.

It does not look like it but there is hardly a seam at all. Quite a good fit.



That is it for now.

Not an issue at all. For what is seen there will be a minimal amount of detail work done.

Just a brief update from me.

After a few comments from folks who know a whole lot more about these than I do and just a bit of research from me, the interior got a different color. Interior Green. I have seen a site that shows a SBD-1 with original paint. It shows Interior Green. So there I go.


Repainted.

Added a couple of the interior parts but for the most part just the color change.

Without opening up any books, I would have thought that this would be the answer .
