HELLDIVER VERSIONS

Basically I want to check if I can accurately or at least decently use the Academy SB-2C4 model as an SB-2C5 version, as used in Greek Air force.

Sorry, I'm not of great help. The -5 version was an increased range plane vs the earlier versions, but I don't know if it had some external modifications.
BTW, the correct spell is SB2C, without dash. So we had SB2C-4 and SB2C-5

Hi !!!
What is the scale of the Academy kit ?
It seems that SB2C5 had fuel tanks with slightly increased capacity.Others modifications could be insignificant.
There nice photos:
