    Newbie to the board

    Hello! My name is Charlie. (Chariots of Fire). While normally a modeler of 1/25 scale fire apparatus, I also enjoy modeling 1/72 scale WW2 US Navy aircraft. I'm looking forward to popping in every so often. As an opening question does the Eduard PE for the Academy version of the SB2C Helldiver work for the Airfix kit as well?

    Hello Charlie, welcome from England. Not sure about the Eduard PE, but most PE sets fit, or can be adapted, for most kits.

    Thanks, guys. I'll try to post some pics of my WW2 builds. If you don't mind my posting a related subject. This is a 1/25 scale Type O-5 crash rig that the USAF used in the late 1940's and early '50's. The actual rig of the one I modeled was used at Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod.

    Once again thank you for the warm welcome. I'm in the process of photographing a few of the US Navy aircraft and will post them in the appropriate location. Need to get some decent pix first!
