1/72 Airfix Dauntless Dive Bomber

My son and I built this one straight out of the box.  We used Accupaint stencil white & CSX blue, letting the white overspray onto the blue. The CSX blue is too dark.  

The kit went together really well other than the canopy. It was broke in half & didn't fit well over the cockpit.  I fitted it & filled the gaps using white glue. I left the pilots canopy off, it didn't fit well being closed or slid back in the open position.
