Thanks, gents, thanks!
Not to start off with a downer, but due to circumstances beyond the pale of mortal ken, there will be no up date week. In other words, it'll be safe to visit the internet.
Now, before the next thrilling installment- I need some help!! As far as the color scheme goes, it looks like I've painted myself into a corner. Despite what decal sheets may say, almost all the SB2C-4E's I've managed to find so far are overall Glossy Sea Blue. I've had my heart set on a tricolor scheme (better weathering potential!), so if you, bold reader, can help me find that elusive aircraft, - yea, even Eternal Ga-LORY will be yours! You can quickly ID a Helldiver as a -4E by the four-bladed prop with spinner and a lack of Yagi underwing antennae. I'm looking for a Pacific-based, wartime combat veteran of a bird- thanks!
Another little thing that bugs me is that I've seen a modeler or two re-shape the gear doors and re-do the internal ribbing. Any intel there? I've looked and looked, but no cigar as of yet. If you can help this neurotic plastic-hacker on this perplexing matter, my eternal gratitude shall be yours to collect, share with your friends or sell on ebay.
We now rejoin our somewhat brief program already in progress.
