Temporary hold for the interior splashing of colours....all is green and dandy. But, what other colours are there on the cockpit instruments etc.? Even though that I have the Dauntless walkaround, it doesn't help with everything....

Anyone have any good side pics of the SBD-3 cockpit...?













Have peaked through the door at the Njaco camp (don't tell Chris though) and the SBD-2 there, but not knowing what's different between the -2 and the -3.....!

Bugger!! The only difference was, according to Jane's, was addition of self-sealing fuel tanks, two .30 cal. in the rear gunner and more armour protection as opposed to the -2. The cockpit pics on my thread should do fine but check the thread I started in Aviation on the SBD-2 - I put a link to it from my GB thread. But Jan, check out my build when you get to the wings. I found a glaring problem and since we both are doing the same plane from the same manufacturer, you might have the same problem.
