David JanuskaSo I've started next plane from Battle of Midway. I've baught rathr old kit from Hasegawa, but it seems really good. I've used Eduard's photo etches to improve the poor cockpit and I'm also planning to replace air brakes and landing flaps.

Alec KNice, I'll take a seat. I don't think there is a better/newer kit of the Dauntless than this. Or is there?

David JanuskaAlec you are right. I'm suprised that all newer kits has the same origin from this Hasegawa tooling.

OlivierOn picture 16 it looks almost black. Guess it is navy blue or intermediate blue. Could you try a different background colour ? The blue mat is perfect for the underside pictures.

David JanuskaOlivier, yes you are right. I've used AK Interactive RC 257 Sea Blue. And you are right second time, I'm not good and patient photographer. Another skill I'm missing🙁. Next time I'll try to improve. I am just using my cell phone in a dark room.

Album info
May be I´m somewhat attracted to the battle of Midway. It is fifth of six main planes which were used in this battle.
