It's about a long time for building something nicely.
After bad mood from building a Border's Tiger I, I started my first 48th scale aero kit, an Academy 1/48 SBD-5.
If everything going well, this will be seen on GDMC by IPMS CHINA 2023. Hope you like it. 🙂

Thanks Bjorn! I like the result of this kit, although some parts fitting are not so good.

beautifully painted. I bit too clean on the lower parts, particularly the landing gear. Maybe some more weathering will blend this in even better.

Thanks Kohl. I'm totally agree with you. In fact I have added some leaking, chipping effect under the wings (see new pics). Maybe landing gears should have more colours as your suggestion.
