Great looking aircraft. I'm currently building a Dauntless too and was going to do the same plane. After doing my research I found that a lot of people have chosen the same subject so I decided to choose another aircraft. Not to take anything away from a fantastic build but didn't the Yorktown planes of this time have black numbers instead of white?
