SBD-2 Dauntless

--------------------

 

I chose to present the two SBDs for a reason. Modelers who built this kit probably, remained with two impressions. First, it is an excellent kit that captures well the lines of the aircraft. Second, the decals are brittle and do not attach well to the surface.

Recently, I found an easy way, but tricky at times to tame stubborn decals and eliminate old silvering stains. I apply Nitro thinner in small quantities until the solvent disolves the decal. More details in the October 2006 issue of IPMS Sweden.
