This is Hasegawa's
SBD built straight from the box for the 2008 PACAIR Group Build on ARC. It is a
rather simple model, and went together with almost no problems. The most time
consuming aspect of this build was the drilling of the 360+ holes in the dive
breaks, something I will never do again!!
The finish was
achieved by first spraying the whole model black and then applying successive
mist coats of Tamiya and Polly Scale paints to simulate fading and shading. A
very thin wash of artists oils was applied as well.
The decals are from
the box and represent an SBD from the USS Yorktown during the Battle of Midway.
