Trumpeter SBD Dauntless  

Awesome, worthy the remembrance of John James Powers, Dusty Kleiss, Dick Best and many others.

Lovely details, ordered one from China today based on this vid.

I have built the 48th scale version of this a few times and it’s my favourite air wing of ww2 I will be purchasing this scale version, you made a fine build my friend,I will be using your video as a guide,great job 👍

Terrific job and an excellent final result.....you absolutely did this kit justice! I have a 1/32 Dauntless in my stash to build sometime soon....thanks for the inspiration and your vid is a great guide for my future build. That first tune took me back to the 1960's psychedelic pop rock.....memories!! Look forward to seeing what you next have for us.

Very nice build 👍

AMAZING, MIND BLOWING I AM SPEECHLESS 😁🤯😁🤯😁🤯

I've been building for years in the 1/48 scale, I recently purchased a couple kits in 1/32. I'm really looking forward to the upgrade in size. Great job on this build your an inspiration

Hell yeah..was waiting for this build

That's a stunner

What a beautiful model! Excellent work. I will getting my oun Dauntless in this scale, soon! I like the way that you work with the motor. Greetings from Guatemala, the Land of Quetzal Bird, simbol of Freedom.

The best weathering I have seen. Not too regular like too many pre-shaded models. Very nice indeed.

Great build 👍🏼👍🏼

Belle maquette avec des couleurs réussies , bravo ...Great plane ...

Nice build like the paint job. Steve U.K.

So perfect work ! Congratulations !

Great SBD!!! But Hats Off to Your REASERCH on the Main Bottom Fuselage Flap PAINTED THE BOTTOM COLOR of the SBD!! For those Who May Doubt....Look at the Naval Aviation Museum's SBD-2 which saw Battle of Midway has over 200 bullet holes (now Covered up) That aircraft has that flap painted bottom color of aircraft... I believe that a museum in Michigan obtained a SBD from the bottom of one of the Great Lakes...Photos show the center flap the Bottom Color NOT RED.... Its only my opinion that at some point the Center flap started to get painted Red.. But I never have Read or seen a Directive on the matter..I Know, Really?! Color of a Center Flap?! Attention to Detail, it's important... How Important is up to the Builder.... Blessings Thank You Darrell Killingsworth

That’s awesome thanks best one I ever seen!

It looks very interesting

it's simply fantastic!!!!!!...but...a lot of work for the internal part only that then they are covered !!!...sorry for my bad english...congratulation, it's a super work!!!

Great work! I'm still not convinced the kit itself is really a 5 out of 5. I have yet to find a trumpeter kit that is truly a 5.

nice work, great video build and easy to follow :)

I have this kit on my wishlist of kits to buy. Even though I'm getting more into collecting than building kits.

Great build!

Missing your front canopy compass at the top of the front canopy it's tiny on the sprue just double check! What I'm noticing with mine is quite alot of levers from the side pannals missing! The holes are on the parts you glue on and like the lever ball head Moulded on but no levers on sprues I've had to make a couple now and the oxygen can pipes needs more added and quite a few parts from the heads on the engine whare the HT plugs at top go to nowhere lol alot of people say this is a brilliant kit but if you do your research you see its pretty poor and wrong in places hopefully we get a new 1.35 from border model's after the next Japanese "Kate" they are now working on for a battle of midway seatbelts are unusable aswell and front one's are missing the shoulder straps! I've ordered a set of new 3D printed seats with belts from thing site just waiting on them coming tomorrow to get it finished up now!

When’s the next build video coming out. Your video on the 1/32 revell mustang brought me to your channel i was looking for more info on the kit and ended up getting it

MAGNIFIQUE

Hi sure I built a dauntless in the 70’s that had a bomb release mechanism?! Or am I dementia’s lol Also my first kit was a spitfire 1/72 that had strings like a puppet but not sure if Airfix or matchbox. Cheers

Nice!

I had to turn off because of the annoying music. Shame.

Getting those 2 halves together was indeed a lot of fiddling, I ended with cutting two unnecessary studs in the hull.

Do you sell finished Douglas SBD Dauntless. Thanks.

Beuatiful !!!

Absolutely amazing! I’m relatively new to modeling and just bought a kit. Can you tell me what kind of glue you were using?

Are theses kits expensive

👏👏👏

Do you thin your paint

what green is that your using on the cockpit name of paint and part number please if you can . i use tamiya paints but i dont see that color anywhere

Phenomenal painting!!
