The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

Looks very nice. 8)

And in a totally different scheme from what HM has done before. I salute them for doing this version.

This early war version will definitely be a hit with collectors doing the early Pacific campaign.

Not sure about sales to first time buyers of the Dauntless though. They would probably want the more familiar later war scheme.

I would definitely consider it, but I have three SBD's already.Actually four with the BBI version. :D

I like the scheme but I'm with snake, I already have a squadron of SBDs.
