I haven't even started and already I get I like. I love SCM🙂🙂🙂🙂
By the way I intend to build my SBD in flying condition and found already a suitable motor (old Walkman).

I find out that the motors are unfortunately too deep and we had to modify the cabin. As we all know you can find anything on eBay, shorter motors also🙂. Today I received the package. 🙂

I wonder if maybe those silver oxide batteries found in watches are better types of batteries in models. My wrist watch's battery lasted over five years before it had to be changed. The silver oxide batteries are also fairly small and cheap, if one is ok with non original Seiko silver oxide batteries. 🙂
Having said that I guess it goes without saying that even small batteries can be dangerous (in some situations). I read about how a house burned down some years ago (presumably true) because of how one 9V battery allegedly fell down from a shelf, hitting another 9V battery (iirc), apparently causing a spark and igniting something volitile on the floor inside a garage.

Very clever - a own camouflaged fan for better air on the booth during the next exhibition 👍

So, it is going to be a part of some dynamic dio perhaps, Bernhard?

It is great, you had an opportunity to join forces 🙂 And photos look so realistic!

Very nice indeed ! I was not aware of the group build, but I may decide to join with my own A.M. SBD-1 with yellow wings. I need a kit that builds well at the moment (mired in kits with so-so fit).
Are we sure the interior was interior green on these early SBDs ? I haven't checked my references yet, but I thought it may be silver.
I will have to watch Dive Bomber anyways, inspiring builds !

Hello Robert & Villiers: thanks for you praise. Indeed we has a lot of fun installing both SBD's to the base ans shot the pictures!🙂
Boris: you are welcome! Which plane you intend to build?
You question is very good. Hanno and I we talked about this question and we decided to paint the interiors green because the interior color you can seen on the original picture of the 2-MB-13 is rather green than alu. See please the teaser picture of my project.

Hi Bernhard, I checked my set of pictures and indeed even the earliest SBDs seem to have had interior green cockpits.
I have not decided which of the Marines SBDs I want to build yet. Maybe 2-MB-6, so as to complement your 2 builds...
