Eduard 1:48 SBD-5 Dauntless limited edition final reveal

[MarkVerploeg]

Hi guys
This is the final reveal of my Dauntless from Eduard
The kit is a Accurate miniatures SBD-5 Dauntless with the Eduard goodies you get with a limited edition kit like resin and pe upgrades
This was my first plane that has a lot of weathering as i usually keep it pretty simple with weathering planes but as these planes had a pretty rough job i decided to make it look a bit beaten up for a change

So this is my Dauntless


























And that is all i have for this build
I still need to post the last update but i will do that once i have a bit more free time on my hands
Thanks for stopping by and having a look
Take care and untill next time
Cheers
Mark

It looks really good - the paintjob and the faded panels are really Master-level

Thank you very much Alan

The weathering on that Naval scheme is AMAZING. Well done, mate. Looks awesome, and definitely not easy to do well.

[MarkVerploeg]

Thank you very much
It must be a bit of luck then
I never painted a WWII US Navy plane before
Allthough i don't really like the blue it is pretty easy to work on
Especially when it comes to weathering it

[Lysus]

Your build really makes me wish I had made some room on my calendar for this GB. Really well done.

[MarkVerploeg]

Thank you very much Lysus
It was fun trying to make a plane look this worn but it was a big change for me
Usually i tend to keep the weathering on a plane pretty basic

[sheppsea]

Very nice build, I love the final look

I really am impressed with the work on here, the only problem is that I often find I repeat myself (Very nice, nice build, outstanding work etc.)

[MarkVerploeg]

Thank you very much
I know the feeling of repeating your self
I once replyed to 20+ reveal at once
It is hard to stay original once that happens
