Tony CThanks everyone, much appreciated and it's the Academy 1/72 kit finished in FAA colours although I learnt later that the vented airbrakes were not fitted to this particular version!

Christian BruerNever know the FAA used the Helldiver. She looks nice but unusual in this scheme. Well done!

Tony CThank you all, still finding my way around the 'site so will be adding details later but will ensure that all future albums are as complete as possible

Tony CWhoops, the history bit...
Whilst supplied under the Lend/Lease programme, the British Authorities felt that the Helldiver wasn't suitable and as such didn't equip frontline squadrons. If I remember correctly, the Helldiver Mk.I was based on the SB2C-3 and was only attached to one squadron

Tony CThanks both have more finished products which I must get around to put up, but work always seems to get in the way of the important things ????
