Academy 1:48. The details are nice but the plastic is quite thin make the construction more tricky than my last kit by Airfix.

I have the same kit. I will watch your build with interest. I also have the Accurate Minatures SBD-3.

Good! Then look at the main decal of the cockpit and don't install it like I did. It should be rotated by 90 degree. I figured it out after varnish so I'll live with it.

It was a bit of a struggle to line the wings part with the body. I think the putty will fix it but it will be a challenge. The upper wing is will also need to be shaved to fit with it. Otherwise the location pns won't align.

Got a lot done this weekend, Quite happy with my preshading on the wings. Still I could have stoped one layer earlier, but I'm still learning.

I´m going to start this kit in a near future, and your album will be a great reference to get it going.

Nice looking kit, especially for the price but the plastic has thin walls and is on the brittle side.
